enhanced tcpdump is needed



are there any standard programs in linux/unix like tcpdump that store packets' headers in db (berkeley db is preffered, including secondary db's to index stored headers by ip addesses, tcp flows, etc.), provide search in db and convert found headers to tcpdump dumpfile format?

best way to get such support is to sponser it ;-). definately i'm only making recommendation for solution. i donot work for money :-)

ha-ha, very funny

hello hitori,

what are you exactly trying to do.. what is the higher-level objective?

i just want to gather some statistics about packets that pass through the server

i've used pcap lib from tcpdump but i just thought there are an easier way do do this
