Would someone be kind enough to give me an example of how I can extract data and list it to the screen from the following: [root@box9 bobg]# cat /var/log/messages | grep Aug Aug 12 10:29:38 unknown kernel: ACCEPT IN=br0 OUT=vlan1 SRC=192.168.1.9 DST=169.229.70.201 LEN=76 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=123 DPT=123 LEN=56 Aug 12 10:31:03 unknown kernel: ACCEPT IN=br0 OUT=vlan1 SRC=192.168.1.9 DST=173.194.79.108 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=42627 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=36901 DPT=995 WINDOW=14600 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B40402080A007FFC710000000001030307) -- http://www.qrz.com/db/W2BOD box9 For instance I would like to list: date/time, SRC=192.168.1.9, DST=169.229.70.201 That should give me a starting point on which I can expand on the information extracted/displayed.
