A switchsniff with absolutely zero configuration for mamas and papas doing parental Internet monitoring and control. Unlike spyware-based parental monitoring products that need "bug implantation," Big Father is an eavesdropping program that uses a switch sniffer to capture and analyze communication traffic over a home network. Big-Father not only logs in real time URL visits, Email, chats, games, FTP, and data flows, but also takes webpage snapshots, duplicates Email and FTP copies, records MSN messenger content, and gives statistical reports. It freely restricts online activities with preset time schedules and according to customized filtering Internet rules.
