First i was wondering if it is possible to make a sniffer from inside a network to log connections to a router from outside the network. Also the sniffer would have to work off either ip address or mac address.
Second if that doesn't work is it possible to add to the routers software or like piggyback it or something so that its possible to log connects.
Oh yeah if you could point to any tutorials of subject matter related to and around this, that would be great, any articles, etc.
Thanks, any help appreciated in advanced
The best thing to do would be to look up tools called WireShark, and Snort. You can set a machine behind your router to be the DMZ then all traffic will go to that machine. Or you can put your machine between your router and the internet. Most routers do not have firmware with write access areas so installing software on your router will be likely be impossible unless there are 3rd party firmwares for your device.
