DESCRIPTION

adcfw-log is a tool for analyzing firewall logs in order to extract
meaningful information.
It is designed to be a standalone script with very few requirements that
can generate different kinds of reports, such as fully formatted reports
of what had been logged, with summaries by source or destination host,
the type of service, or protocol.
There are also options to filter the input data by date, host, protocol,
service, and so on. 

Only netfilter log format is supported at this time.

FEATURES

These are the features currently provided by adcfw-log:

o   support for netfilter log format
o   log entries filtering based on protocol, source host, destination
    host, service, prefix, input and output interfaces
o   reports based on protocol, source or destination host, service
o   summaries based on source host, destination host, service and prefix

REQUIREMENTS

adcfw-log requires only a perl interpreter.
It's developed using perl 5.6.1, but I think it should run well with any
older subversion of perl5.
