#1 Using LILA On A Laptop Without Mysql & Syslog-ng?

[Xgates]

Hi,

Your app looks really great...

I have a couple of questions, with what I read in the pdf. It says it's main purpose is to monitor outgoing packets, but what about incoming, attacks from the Net, port scans, dropped connections, etc.? Sorry I'm not a hardcore Net geek, but won't this also monitor everything going on?

When you say outgoing, to me that means what's trying to phone home, well I don't use many online applications and I guess I've personally never considered that to be a concern on just a laptop running a few applications. I'm more concerned on all the attacks and scans and drops and rejects coming from the internet to my box, so can LILA show everything going on from the logs?

Also I run Slackware so it uses syslog already and I don't want to use syslog-ng and replace syslog that's to much a pain...

Also since this is just for a laptop, this is not for some major network requirements, but a geek that just wants to keep an eye on things coming in and out of the box, so I have no concerns or wants for using a database, because I rotate the logs all the time so they are never big, only a few days old. So can I use LILA without mysql too?

THANKS

One other thing, it would be nice if you can please translate all the code into English...

THANKS
