Mikrotik devices are very popular in the ntop community. The simplest way to monitor traffic of these devices is using flows as described in this blog post. However sometimes flows might not be the best choice for various reasons including the inability to perform DPI on the captured traffic.  For full visibility you can use […]

One of the feedbacks we have collected at the PacketFest conference is to schedule periodic webinars about popular ntop tools we develop. For this reason, we have decided to start with ntopng and nDPI: Below you can find the video of the webinars that took plance on May 27th and June 10th.     Enjoy […]

PacketFest 2025 has been a great success. About 110 people, coming from more than 10 (European and overseas) countries, met in Zürich and attended the conference organized by ntop with support from Switch, AnyWeb, and Leutert NetServices. It was a three-day event where the ntop and Wireshark communities met to discuss network traffic visibility and […]

We’re excited to announce a new ntopng stable release 6.4, a feature-packed update! With a strong focus on assets visibility and QoE monitoring. This version introduces groundbreaking new dashboards, advanced reporting, better alerting, and a lot of improvements to keep your network monitoring efficient and insightful. Breakthroughs Asset Inventory & Digital Twin DashboardVisualize your infrastructure […]

We’re excited to announce the new nProbe 10.8 release! This release introduces features that improve visibility, performance, and protocol intelligence, while also addressing many community-requested improvements and fixes. Quality of Experience (QoE) Monitoring Understanding network performance from the user’s perspective is more important than ever. With QoE computation, nProbe now allows you to assess the […]

We’re excited to announce a new release of Cento 2.2, our high-performance flow-based traffic processing engine. This release brings major enhancements in traffic analysis capabilities, particularly for mobile network monitoring, quality assessment, and flow offloading on Napatech adapters. Whether you’re deploying Cento in ISP-grade infrastructures or using it for deep traffic inspection, this release is […]

This is to announce a new PF_RING release 9.0.0! This release brings significant improvements for a deeper flow tracking integrations, making PF_RING even more powerful for building high-performance flow processing networking applications able to leverage on state-of-the-art hardware offloads at high speed. In fact we’ve streamlined support for the latest Napatech SmartNIC’s Flow Manager FPGA, […]

We’re excited to announce the release of nDPI 4.14, a maintenance release that also includes some cool new protocol dissectors and fixes. As you know, maintaining a DPI library is no easy task, and this release is no exception. We’ve worked hard to enhance existing dissectors, making them more robust and efficient. We’ve also cleaned […]

Last week ntop has been invited to give a talk at neacademy in Napoli, Italy. The topic was network fingerprints and nDPI. Network fingerprints such as JA4 have been made popular by cybersecurity that uses them to spot (with limited false positives) malware and use them to find traffic pattern similarities. During the talk, we […]

In this contributed post the Universidade de Aveiro, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal, explains how nProbe has be successfully used in 5G networks.   Introduction As networks evolve to meet the demands of modern connectivity, the need for intelligent traffic monitoring and anomaly detection becomes increasingly critical. In the context of 5G networks, where high-speed data […]
