Developing a web-based packet monitoring tool / Hamsiah Mohamed Said

This project is an effort in to develop a web-based program to monitor the network traffic
over a local host and a local network based on the flow of the User Datagram Protocol.
This system was developed to have the feature that can show packet traffic in
detail such as source and destination IP address, source and destination port number, total
number of packets transferred, session and other data. Besides, it capable to capture
traffic from multiple network adapters simultaneously. This monitoring tool uses the web
interface so users can easily access traffic information via generic and easy to use Web
browser. It also has the ability to sort and retrieve the information from database. This
program will be written in java language on background process and PHP on foreground
process based on Window XP Operating System platform.
Throughout this report, there will be altogether 5 chapters. The first chapter will
be explaining the scope and objective of this project. Second chapter focus on some
definition of pertinent terminologies and other projects related to this project. The third
chapter will be discussing the method being used to develop the system or program. The
fourth chapter will present the results from this project and finally the overall progress
and achievement of this project will be discussed in chapter five.
