sniffy - pseudo terminal sniffer/loger
The sniffy project allows to trace/log the data of any pseudo terminal
in the system. Due to the way the terminal works, such a terminal trace
provides complete information of what happened on the terminal screen and
sniffy is able to display/replay this information.

The sniffy project consist of
- kernel module able to connect/hook on pseudo terminal
- program able to display content of any pseudo terminal on fly
- daemon process tracing the pseudo terminal content into the file
- replay program allowing to replay any stored pseudo terminal session

The usage of pseudo terminals in applications like ssh/telnet/X terminals,
makes the sniffy project quite attractive. It could be obviously used for
various purposes. One of the most sane usage could be ssh access session
monitoring of some guarded server. Any action on such a server through
the ssh is then documented and could be replayed.

RELEASE NOTES

[x] sniffy 0.1.1 (3/11/2008)
	x first one (from initial hack to release)



TODO

[-] sniffy 0.1.2
        - bug fixies

[-] sniffy 0.2
	- traces
		- store traces according to the user name
		- trace working as circular buffers or have a size limit on the
		  trace file, when crossing this limit, create a new file
		- compression, better design from space point of view

	- reprint the display on demand (like CTRL-L keypress in terminal)
	- better GUI
	- sort terminal display ('l' command)
	- docs
	- hook on mount/unmount devpts
	- automated tests
	- config file support
	- make replay code more inteligent (redesign)
