I've been working on a different and also related project on SourceForge.net (ImmuneSoft) where I've created a system that monitors and displays connections between computer systems at a central server. Its mostly a graphical system that collects information from programs, not a "end-tool" so to speak. I use Snort to pull information about the connection itself, but nothing else of value (such as how much info was sent, etc.)
The original "network profiling" piece I wrote was mostly an "on-the-side" project. It was easy to implement so I did it (I had already created the tools necessary to collect and display, only needed to add "hot-cold" charts and such.) However, its wildly inaccurate.
I'm very interested in tossing away the old engine I'm using and use your system instead. However, when I went to install/run the binary distro, it just gave me a memory exception and never went far.
I'm launching it from a Sempron 2400+ running Windows 2000 (I use this system for backward compatibility development) but normally I don't get errors like this, even for things compiled for Windows XP+. I'll be happy to help test on other platforms besides the 2003 platform that you originally compiled on.
I was giving your software a try this morning because I wanted to see about your interface -- I like command line components because they are easiest for my agent to collect and process before sending to the server.
What I think I can add to your project immediately is a way to securely access it, interactive graphical display and reporting, centralized management combining all the information across many collectors, and auto maintanance.
Thank you for your time,
Datendrache
