Hi

I am trying to investigate some possible corporate policy violations, mostly
involving porn.  My IDS matches rules for certain criteria and looks for
banned words in html.  When I get the ip, i can query it, but most of the
time I get info about a hosting provider.  When I attempt to access the ip
http://155.X.X.X i get either some generic page or a 404 error.  Is there
any way to find out what sites are hosted at a given IP?  My logs have not
been much help for this.

Thanks

Steve


I had the same problem.  If the user is a routine abuser and your IDS
system is Linux, grab DSNIFF tools and run urlsnarf.  It will grab ALL
requests with full url.
