Echelon for Dummies is a distributed sniffer which tries to show how the "echelon" network could be designed. It uses sniffer servers that can be installed and run on remote hosts, and will dig through local network traffic, useing custom pattern/keyword matching to find packets with interesting content, which are then forwarded to a central loghost on which the logging daemon is run that gathers and logs the data. For stealth purposes, Sniffers and the logger communicate via random protocols and encryption, and are compatible to many Unix systems and NT.
