Tomasz, Several tools are capable of doing this already, think of MRTG and BigBrother. Sure it's a good idea to do something like this yourself, but I think it's an even better idea to merely customise the above mentioned applications to suit your own needs instead of spending a -lot- of time writing an own monitoring-application. :) Regards, Chris Hoogenboezem http://chris.digitalcraze.nl ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomasz Popik" <popikt@yahoo.com> To: "Security Discuss" <security-discuss@linuxsecurity.com> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:32 AM Subject: Security scaning via remote WAP connection : open project > Hello group, > > I am Tomasz Popik, i am a student of 5th year math university in Poland.
