[plug] Network Monitoring

[Margo Adams]

Hi everyone

I am studying at TAFE doing website design. My current security 
assignment is to obtain a network monitor, install, and write up the 
details of installation & configuration.

Why am I posting this here, you ask? Because the example given was 
Microsoft Network Monitor...

i asked the lecturer if I was restricted to windows and he said NO... 
write it on any program as long as I understand the principles.. groovy

Being still fairly new to linux, I have no idea but am assuming there 
are network monitors available. I have Apache instyalled so something 
that would record hits on my local server would be excellent.

Can someone refer me to some software/helpful sites? :) I really don't 
want to do the assignment on MS...
