      How about iptraf?

      IPTraf is a pretty useful realtime network monitoring package

        May be if don't miss some thing and understand the main idea of project
        1. ng_netflow and some web_iface for it.
        2. flow-tools ( here i would like to tell some words about why: on radioethernet it will be usefull to collect data localy and send to some server by cron)
        3. tcshrc from /usr/ports/shells/tcshrc/. I understand that main idea of project is to make little and easy web based router/firewall but if something wrong i as always first try to see whats going on by ssh not by web_iface
        4. syslog_ng or some thing to move logs from router to another server
        seems to be all

          Check the consolemenu or ssh in. Try the pftop option. It's similiar to this.

            And ntop does a good job of providing trend information as well.

              Not that good as IPtraf…. IPtraf shows for example number of pkt per second, statistics for interrested port, protocol etc..
              It's very usefull and powerfull tool. IMHO
              ;-)

                  has an asterisk package been talked about?  a package where you could have have a 2nd pfsense box running asterisk? or even run it on the same machine as your firewall which would make life a bit easier.

                    Yeah, its been tossed around.  I would like to see one get going at some point.  I've got some files started but they are a little dated and the structure really wasn't that hot.

                    With that said, if someone wants to work on this and wants to use these, I can try to dig them up.  In fact, I would help out with this but I am looking for someone to "own" this package and maintain it.

                      Well my vote goes to Quagga, or at least some kind of RIP/OSPF supporting routing daemon.  Purely for use on VPN's, of course!

                      I've just spotted that it's in ports, but a web extension for it would be nice.  I did a package of Quagga for smoothwall a while back (web bit didn't work though, but never got round to fixing it) so I might try and do something for pfSense.

                        Yes, please do!    If you want to take over the package it currently does not have a maintainer.

                          IPtraf is not a BSD util. Its linux, and it's a ugly hack imo. ;)

                            mmm IDS like snort and adaptive firewalling capabilities like snort-sam

                            i.e. kiddie starts scanning me, ids generates firewall rules to block kiddie before he hits my open ports / or temporarily 'hides' those ports.

                              I'll start having a crack at it today then, my BSD isn't a patch on my Linux but I'm sure I can muddle through ;)

                                  I know this isn't what you want on a firewall normally, but I would like to see a samba client along with rsync for remote backups (I guess with a cron scheduler) through the firewall to a local windows machine.

                                  I know it would be better to have a seperate machine, but it's just not feasible in my friends enviroment at the time. I've been using a Linux based firewall/server installation at his location, but it's several releases back and I can't upgrade it remotely. pfSense of course is my choice for a firewall, and with just these few features it would fit perfectly in that enviroment, and I'd always be able to remotely maintain the firewall.

                                  Likely I could just add the packages, but then they would get wiped out with each upgrade…

                                    No they won't not unless your doing a clean install. I have Been running a jabber server on my pfSense box that survived several upgrades.
                                    Likewise, I didnt want to get a separate box just to run a jabber server, so I just installed and configured it on my firewall.

                                        Okay, I've tried this out on my own pfSense FW, I can install the packages no problem. I guess I need to make a custom kernel however, because there is now smbfs.ko to be loaded. I tried just copying one from my freebsd system, but that doesn't work. I've built a kernel before, but just with very basic changes. What would I have to do to build the pfSense kernel with only the addition of that one module? Where do I specify for it to build that module?

                                        Thanks for your help…

                                          Some form of packet capturing for use with Ethereal would be incredible!

                                            This might be possible for a package?

                                            Is there a way, (or possible) to have pfSense put IP addresses of people in a sort of temporary pool that will block all access from them, if they say lauch an attack against the router.

                                            Multiple attempts to attack the router results in a 6 hour ban. Something of that sort.
