The simplest solution would be to simply log all activity using tcpdump in binary
format. This decreases the file size, is faster, and allows you to manipulate it after.
You can also input this binary log into any protocol analyzer afterwards as well ie:
ethereal, etherpeek nx and the such.

Doing the above also gives you and your client a copy of exactly what it is you have
done during your pen test should there be any questions/complaints.

Folks,

What software do you recommend for auditing / logging while performing
pen-test assessment.

I am interested in both network and application level.logging.

Thanks
