For my diploma thesis I´m looking for a tool which can give me an
graphical overview to the browsers used in a network and the target
webpages. The datasource for the graphics should come from tcpdump or
ethereal dumps, recorded at the router, but other solutions are also
possible.
Does anybody has any idea or knows a tool how can do that?
I already tried the statistical functions of ethereal but it won´t
analyse http traffic in the way I would like to.
Ntop isn´t an alternative, as it won´t show the browsers used - or I
didn´t find the function. :-)

That's a crazy idea.

If you were to trundle through the tcpdump output you'd have to
reassemble the packets.

Although you could just look for the UserAgent string, it's kinda
pointless as I might be looking at some TCP dump output via HTTP, which
would spoil your graphing.

What's better is to setup a transparent proxy at the gateway, possibly
using squid, this way the proxy gets the HTTP headers, then does what's
required for your stats.

You could easily configure the logging for this.
