computer monitoring software

Does anyone know of software that can monitor computer use? In particular, monitoring Internet use and email access, on a particular computer. It's fine if the software indicates to the user that he is being monitored. It's a situation where the user has provided informed consent for the monitoring.
" It's a situation where the user has provided informed consent for the monitoring"
out of curiosity what situation is this?
It's for bail, where someone is charged criminally. The situation is generally:
The police alleged that someone committed some computer-related crime. It could be child porn, some Internet related fraud, or something else. The police arrested the accused person, and held him for a bail hearing.
The trial won't happen for a year, maybe more. The court will want to release the accused person on certain conditions until the trial, unless there is some societal interest in keeping him in jail.
One of the accused's family members will offer to monitor the accused, as a condition of his bail. This may help secure a bail release. The family member will make sure that the accused follows the court's rules (eg. no child porn, no fraud, or another set of case-appropriate bail rules). If the accused breaks the rules while on bail, the family member will revoke the bail.
The accused probably needs to use his computer for work and other legitimate things. Although the police have charged the accused, he hasn't been found guilty; the charges are just allegations at the moment. The family member's monitoring is a compromise.
Edit: the monitoring software would ideally report to a separate computer, so that the family member can monitor the accused remotely (from work, etc).
Wireshark (GUI) and tcpdump (terminal-only) are possible answers. There are alternatives such as Ettercap, EtherApe, Tcptrace or netsniff-ng's flowtop.
Thanks MB, I will pass on this suggestion to the person who needs it
I thought that I would try it out in case he has questions. Wireshark is in the Add/Remove Programs list, but "cannot be authenticated". Add/Remove Programs gives a warning about programs that are not authenticated (screen capture attached).
Can anyone provide any more information about that warning? Should I (learn how to) build from source instead? Or is it safe to download from the repository despite the warning?
It probably just is a mistake from the administrator behind your mirror. Try to download your packages from another mirror. You can change it from "Software and updates" (or something like that: I am translating from French) in the "System settings".
Is this forum about Trisquel? or just everyone likes to post shit, about non trisquel issues all the time?
This post should be post it in the TROLL HOLE!
"or just everyone likes to post shit, about non trisquel issues all the time?"
sometimes people post about non-trisquel
related topics yes
if this question was in the troll hole
its fairly sure it would get zero or minimal
attention
Indeed that is about alternative Free Software, but this forum should be under free software issues forum folder. Do we have that folder available? No we don't!
By Reading the community forum guidelines, Some of guidelines could be read and interpret very differently.
It is not specific and still vague with generalization. Thai is just my opinion, everyone else is entitled to their own.
All I'm asking is a little bit of reorganization with More alternative forum folders. It will be good For any user to post properly in their proper forums, as need it.
That will help, folder indexing and topic location, avoiding the over crowding of the main forum, it will help at the long run.
Everything has its rightful place. Yet, If the admins of this Trisquel website, don't mind non-related Trisquel topics to be place anywhere? Then is there headache, resources, time and money.
Specially, When downtime and maintenance schedules take longer from the normal.
This matter needs to be address properly.
Respectfully and don't scream at me. I'm all ears...
