Sourcefire has released a network traffic logging utility.

The company Sourcefire, which created the popular Open Source-intrusion detection system Snort, announced the release of a new product Daemonlogger - a utility for logging network traffic with open source.
"Daemonlogger is the latest example of Sourcefire's contribution to the open source software community," said Martin Roesch, author of Snort and Sourcefire CTO. “Our open source release, Daemonlogger, provides a convenient and easy-to-use tool for solving two simple tasks in the classic world of UNIX utilities that implement some functions and do it well.”
Daemonlogger was developed and released by Sourcefire to simplify the implementation of a solution for logging network traffic. The core of Daemonlogger is a packet sniffer that can passively collect logs about network traffic and write them to a hard disk in PCAP format. It is also possible to re-send packets to another network interface using the “soft tap” function in Daemonlogger.
Daemonlogger is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) 2, and its source code is freely available on the Snort website .
