Packet Sniffers

[Mike Nielsen <mnielsen@iastate.edu>]

Howdy all.  

I'm looking for a robust packet sniffer I can use to track and catalog various
types of traffic to a site.  Ideally I would like to be able to have it
recognize port scans and spoofed IPs and record that info somewhere... 
 
I think tcpdump, argus, sniffit etc. can all do it but I havn't fuond one that
is easilly customizable..

Admittedly my Perl skills leave much to be desired

any ideas?
