Script to track internet usage

[wciccadmin]

Hello,

I am trying to put something together to track website URLS visited by some employees. I have tried a few freeware tools but they do not do exactly what I need. I would like to keep things simple as possible.

When a webpage is accessed in IE I would like to write the logged on NT username, time and URL to a text file or SQL table. I have it all figured out with the exception of tracking the URLs.

I dont know how to go about this...I was thinking it would be nice to sniff port 80 and 443 outbound and check the destination IP Address and then do a DNS lookup on the reporting end... Just wondering if there is a better way.

I would like this to be a vbs or a single exe so I will not need to install this, just run via login script.

You could gather all the info ant any time using this handly script by Vengy.

Beyond this I would say you should get yourself a proxy server which will centrally capture every page visited by every user you route through the proxy. You can purchase a very inexpensive proxy that got excellent reviews by GearHead in Network World Magazine at

' INDEX.DAT files keep a list of websites you have visited, cookies received and files opened/downloaded.
' As a result anyone can find out what you have been doing on the Internet!

' This program scans all History index files only (not cookies or temporary internet files)
' looking for any protocol :// entries. If found, they're stored in a file called c:\spy.htm.

' When the scan completes, you will have the option to remove specific IE history files!

' Aside: This program invokes a local windows program called FIND.EXE to
' parse the index.dat files. (I was too lazy to code it myself. ;)
