Hawk is a web based utility for monitoring and comparing hosts on your network with what's in DNS. Hosts that are answering pings but are not in dns may be unauthorized, and hosts that are in DNS, but are not answering may be able to be reclaimed. Hawk monitors all hosts on the networks you specify and lets you view them via a web page. Hawk consists of a backend written in perl that monitors hosts by icmp pings and writes the status to a mysql database. The frontend is in php and lets you select which network to view, and how to view it. WWW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iphawk/ - Doug Barton DougB@FreeBSD.org
