Monitor /Block facebook chat
-
Using the packet capture feature am able to look through the acpture file in wireshark and can see the chat. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to extract the facebook chat from this file so that it may be viewed easily? I found this link

but cannot seem to get it to work, not sure if fb chat has changed since, does it work for anyone else?
On another note, is it possible to block facebook chat completeley but leave access to facebook itself intact?

Not sure on the extracting bit but if you have Squid you should be able to at least block something with a few ACLs. There are various sites which details different ACLs on how to do this.
The only problem is the handling of https in the current stable squid package.http://www.buttonclicker.com/2010/06/04/block-facebook-chat-using-squid-acl/
