nBox Recorder
A Turn-Key 100 Gbit Continuous Packet Recorder
nBox Recorder is a network traffic disk recorder application. With nBox Recorder you can capture full-sized network packets at gigabit rate from a live network interface and write them into files. It has been designed and developed mainly because most network security systems rely on capturing all packets (headers and payload), since any packets may have been responsible for the attack or could contain the problems that we are trying to find.
nBox Recorder uses the industry standard PCAP file format to dump packets into files so the resulting output can be easily integrated with existing third party or even open-source analysis tools like ntopng, Wireshark, Suricata, Zeek, Snort.
nBox Recorder can be effectively used to perform:
- Off-line network packets analysis by feeding a specialized tool (such as snort or ntopng)
- Reconstruct specific communication flows or network activities
- Reproduce the previous captured traffic to a different network
Open Source Technologies
nBox relies on Open Source high-performance technologies for capturing and processing traffic, including our PF_RING framework, delivering Line-Rate packet capture up to 100 Gbit/s. nBox Recorder uses the industry standard PCAP file format to dump packets into files, so the resulting output can be easily integrated with existing third party and Open Source analysis tools like ntopng, Wireshark or Snort.
100% Visibility, Nanosecond Precision
nBox provides 100% visibility with sustained Line-Rate loss-less packet capture, which is a requirement in network security. Loss-less packet capture up to 100 Gbit, combined with nanosecond accuracy, delivers the best visibility in any condition. Full packets are stored, indexed and organized in a timeline to enable on-demand retrieval, specifying time interval and BPF criteria to fully reconstruct past events.
High Performance, Small Form Factor
Our nBox Recorder and NetFlow appliances are able to process up to 100 Gbit and fit in 1U form factor rackmount (depending on the required data retention). Up to 24 disks in 2U form factor, or longer-term storage on modular systems to scale as needed.
