Dear users,

I am doing some research for a Masters thesis. The research is centred round Defense against denial of service attacks. I have read about this software and want to know if I can use it for the work I need to do.

I have to do some packet sniffing on a network and compile statistics and get a general distribution for packets under normal conditions and then packets under DDOS attack. So I need a tool that can generate statistics for me by sniffing packets and showing how many are SYN, SYN-ACK, etc in a given window of time.

Can Ethereal do this? If so how must I set it up to get this info.

Thanks.

Dorcas
