ICFMeister monitors the activities of XP's Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).

The information ICFMeister delivers can help you detect hacking attempts and sort out problems with internet-capable programs on your computer. A single installation can harvest ICF log data throughout your network without the need for multiple licences. ICFMeister reads the logs generated by the ICF, and presents them to you in a consistent, easy to read format. Where possible, ICFMeister provides additional information to help make sense of the log data. For example, hover the mouse over an IP address and you see the corresponding network name in a tooltip. ICFMeister will monitor your logs 24/7, watching out for firewall activity that interests you. For example, you can configure ICFMeister to alert you to possible hacking attempts by issuing visual and audio alerts, sending emails, outputting separate logs and even running your own scripts.
