Lets us not forget freeipdb, and flowtools. Those two can seriously save you a lot of time, effort and money. I think other people have made mention of most of the other "common" tools. Most peoples needs are easily met with pre-written utilities. I'd say collect them all, and figure out what works best for _your_ network. Sometimes, a pre-written tool can save you a lot of time, other times they seem to always fall short of your needs and expectations. Be prepared to write your own tools, there are/will be times when that is the only way to get something done. http://www.freeipdb.org/ http://www.splintered.net/sw/flow-tools/ -- Robert Hough (rch@acidpit.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
