What is the ntop.org/ website used for?
The ntop.org/ website exists to share information about our tools — ntopng, nDPI, PF_RING, and the rest of the ntop suite — along with research, technical articles, and updates from our community. It’s a resource for network engineers, security professionals, and researchers who use or are evaluating our software.
Do you accept guest posts?
No. We do not accept guest posts on ntop.org/. This is a deliberate choice, not an oversight.
Why not?
- We want to avoid advertising. Guest posts are often a vehicle for promoting unrelated products, services, or companies. Accepting them would turn our website into an advertising channel, which isn’t what ntop.org/ is for.
- We want to keep content relevant to our community. Our readers come to ntop.org/ for deep, technical content about packet capture, deep packet inspection, and network monitoring. Off-topic or generic content — even if well-written — dilutes the value of the site for the people who rely on it.
What if I’ve written something good about ntop?
We’re glad to hear it. If you’ve published a high-quality, technical article about ntop tools on your own blog, company website, or another third-party outlet, let us know. We’re happy to review it, and if it’s a good fit, we may repost or link to it for our community.
How do I submit something for consideration?
Please use contact us form to let us know about your articles, the published URL along with a short note about the content and your affiliation. We’ll review it and get back to you if we’d like to feature it.
