The Iggblog

In an effort to learn more about Packet Filter logging on Pipboy (my firewall), as well as basic html stuff, I threw this page together:

The graphs are from pfstat, credit to Daniel at benzedrine.cx whose pfstat.conf I pretty much copied straight up from his page on the subject and modified for my use. But that’s pretty much how I learn… I take something that works (if available) and mess with it till I can make sense of it. Then I can manage to craft something of my own.

Yeah… I know it’s not very exciting, and to non-nerds it’s just a big wad of “yeah, and?”. But I’ve wanted historical data in some marginally human-readable format for a while and I like documenting new, however trivial, things in my el-jay.

EDIT – I’ve already fiddled a little. The file Daniel had reported 24 hour data sets which isn’t as useful on a relatively low traffic device like mine (it ends up being a forest of discrete spikes). So I edited the config file to make it do 4 hour graphs to use as the main display on the page, and allow the user to click on the graphs for a 24h display. sexy, yes?
