Project Description

fwmon is a firewall monitor for Linux. It integrates with ipchains/iptables to
give you realtime notification of firewall events. It has fairly customizable
output, allowing you to display a packet summary with hex and ASCII data dumps
to stdout, a logfile, tcpdump-style capture files, and even syslog. It also
boasts some simple security features such as the ability to chroot itself, and
operate in a non-root environment.

1.0.10

This release fixes a major crashing bug when the kernel sends oversized packets, an old race condition in the libpcap code, and a small bug in syslog output. It optimizes the code, and adds some new and nicer error messages. fwmon now also emits an error when no output mode is specified.
