Using ntop as a flow collector for nProbe
nProbe is an efficient netflow/IPFIX probe that can also act as a collector dumpling flows on disk or onto a database (MySQL, sqlite and Fastbit). As ntop has not been designed to…
Monitoring and Solving Network Management Challenges
One of the unique nProbe features is its architecture that's open to extensions. Plixer International is exploiting these nProbe features in their products. If interested you should attend this presentation. 2010 ACUTA…
Introducing nProbe v6
Today the new nProbe v6 has been released. It includes several improvements with respect to the previous version including: Full IPFIX support: PEN (Private Enterprise Numbers) and Variable length encoding. Ability to…
nProbe Internals
nProbe is an efficient processing engine able to produce flows based on captured packets, converts flow format (e.g. from NetFlow v5 to v9), or from sFlow to NetFlow. Its engine is fully…
10 Gbit Hardware Packet Filtering Using Commodity Network Adapters
The promise of filtering packets in hardware is not new. Unfortunately filtering network adapters are pretty expensive, not to mention if they run at 10 Gbit. Furthermore many commercial FPGA-based NICs feature…
PF_RING/TNAPI-based 10 Gbit Network Monitoring on Multicore Systems
Over the past couple of years, PF_RING has been enhanced to exploit innovations in computer hardware. In particular the availability of multicore systems and efficient controllers such as those introduced by Intel…
Twelve years of ntop
The Internet is pretty volatile. As new information become available, the old one disappears. Sometimes we have to look back and see what's happened in the past years. Shall you be interested…
ntop on Ubuntu
The ubuntu community has published a post that explains how to compile/use ntop on Ubuntu. This is the URL of the post.
Using Genetic Algorithms for Network Intrusion Detection and Integration into nProbe
Conference: OSCON 2010 Presentation Link: Ignite Track Presented by: Brian Lavender SNORT is popular Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) tool that currently uses a custom rule based system to identify attacks. This…
Released ntop 4.0
After a few years of work, this is to announce the availability of ntop 4.0. Major changes include: Partially rewritten ntop processing engine to address reliability and performance Several bugs and stability…
Creating 3D Maps using ntop
Since some time ntop support geolocation. Now courtesy of Ronald W. Henderson it can also display mercator maps and natively integrate with tools such as Google Earth. These ntop extensions are part…
