Easily turn a Ubuntu-based computer into a full linux router, complete with dhcpd, named/bind, iptables firewall, and packet inspection of the network traffic being routed. Deep packet inspection for layer 2 (mac), layer 3 (ipv4, ipv6), layer 4 (icmp, tcp, udp), and layer 7 (application-specific). Summary of network flows and all layers of inspected traffic is stored in a database at 1-second intervals. This database is then mined to drive the Apache/PHP web interface.
