tcplog(8)
NAME
tcplog - TCP packet logger.
SYNOPSIS
tcplog [-f, --file filename ] [-n, --no-resolve] [-v,
--version]
DESCRIPTION
- tcplog , a TCP packet logger, is a part of the jail (just
- another ip logger) package.
- tcplog is a small (daemon) process which logs all TCP con
- nection requests to the local host. The syslog level at which a
- given packet is logged is configurable depending on the destina
- tion port. Packets from specific hosts can be ignored, and a de
- fault log level can be specified.
- tcplog can be useful in detecting attempted denials of
- service, and monitoring network traffic, especially when used in
- conjunction with icmplog(8).
- The configuration is explained in the tcplog.conf(5) manu
- al page.
OPTIONS
- -f, --file [ filename ]
- Use filename as the configuration file instead of
- the default (/etc/tcplog.conf).
- -n, --no-resolve
- Do not resolve IP addresses to hostnames.
- -v, --version
- Display tcplog(8) version.
