Introducing the New Infrastructure Dashboard in ntopng
For this reason, some time ago we introduced the Infrastructure Monitoring in ntopng, as described in a previous blog post, which is the ability to use ntopng to monitor other ntopng instances, by means of its Active Monitoring capabilities. This infrastructure monitoring feature allows users to gain real-time insights into the status of their ntopng instances, as well as monitor the network interconnecting them. Now, we are excited to introduce a further extension to the Infrastructure Monitoring in ntopng, the new Infrastructure Dashboard. This enhancement enables users to efficiently oversee multiple …

When Traffic Obfuscation Falls Short: nDPI vs NordWhisper NordVPN
In recent years, numerous virtual private networks (VPNs) have been introduced to the market. Some of these VPNs are standalone applications, while others are integrated into web browsers or other network applications. All of these VPNs promise users a private browsing experience by preventing users from being tracked and observed, particularly on public hotspots. Popular countermeasures detect these VPNs (often based on WireGuard or OpenVPN) and prevent their use to circumvent network policies. To enhance the detection and blocking of VPNs, companies have implemented various traffic obfuscation techniques to render …

Using ntopng as Generic Flow Collector (log files, firewall events, MQTT…)
Most users of our community use ntopng as flow (sFlow/NetFlow/IPFIX) collector with ntop tools such as nProbe or nProbe Cento. From time to time we receive inquiries about using it as generic flow collector for instance reading connection information from the firewall, log files/syslog, MQTT, or cloud formats. This blog post shows you howto do that, ntopng can collect information via ZMQ, so the simplest mechanism is to export data on top of this protocol. ntopng accepts two formats implemented by the nDPI serialization library: binary TLV (all versions) JSON …
