Network Tracker

trackerd is now multi-threaded and works very
quickly because a new thread is created for each
network device. MAC tracking code has been
reimplemented for multi-threaded use. Wireless
access point support has been added. gnuplot
graphics are prepared, showing the active number
of users like MRTG graphs. tracker now accepts MAC
addresses in free format.

Recording tracking history was added. Two new
fields has been added into the settings table:
HistoryCount and LocalHistoryCount. HistoryCount
defines how many records will be stored in the
database for each MAC address. LocalHistoryCount
defines how many times the total numbers of MAC
found in each tracking process will be stored in
the database for statistical purposes.

A new script "trackersnmp", which can shut-down/open the switch port of the given IP/MAC, was added. With a new snortsam plugin "snmp_interface_down", both projects are integrated. trackerdbgui gets an optional MySQL username (and then asks for the password) which probably has write access; otherwise, the default credentials in the /etc/trackerdbgui.conf are used. All the SQL transactions are logged into the /var/log/trackerdbgui.log file. Defining the running period of the MAC tracking process was changed and that value is shown in the output of tracker -s.

This version adds trackerdbgui (GTK2) for easy database
operations, CGI reports, and some statistics feature were
added. There were small changes in the database scheme.
Some bugs were removed. New English and Turkish
README/INSTALL files and man pages were added.
