Introducing nDPI 6.0: Licensing Update, Slow DoS Detection and Smarter Fingerprints
We are proud to announce the release of nDPI 6.0, the latest major update to our open-source Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) toolkit. This release brings an important licensing update, a brand-new detection logic for Slow DoS attacks, more flexible and reliable traffic fingerprints, and zero-overhead runtime observability via USDT tracepoints — on top of new protocols and dozens of improvements and fixes. Updated Licensing Terms With nDPI 6.0 we have updated the licensing terms of the project, introducing a distinction between for-profit and not-for-profit usage of some components. Full details …

Announcing nDPI Dual License Change
A License Change for nDPI: Protecting the Project We Started in 2012 When we began nDPI back in 2012, the idea was simple: build an open source, high-performance Deep Packet Inspection engine that anyone could use as a foundation layer for network applications. No gatekeeping or strings attached, but just a solid piece of infrastructure that the community could build on, improve, and share back. In order to protect this idea, we have registered the nDPI trademark both in the US and EU to prevent people from using the word …

HowTo Collect Flows: the Case of Palo Alto and Fortinet
Network devices export flow data in many flavors. Some vendors stick closely to the NetFlow/IPFIX standard, so collecting their flows is essentially plug-and-play. Others extend the standard with proprietary Information Elements (IEs) to expose vendor-specific details (e.g. application names, user identities, security verdicts, etc) which requires a bit of extra configuration on the collector side. In this post we revisit and update an older article on collecting proprietary flows with nProbe, using two widely deployed firewall vendors as concrete examples: Fortinet FortiGate and Palo Alto Networks. Two Different Approaches, One Collector FortiGate exports flow data …

Supercharging ntopng: Engineering a Fast, Modern Network GUI
If you’ve opened ntopng recently, you may have noticed something feels a little different — a little faster. That’s not your imagination. We’ve rebuilt the main menu, footer and top header, interfaces selector and the preferences pages using Vue.js, the first step in a broader effort to modernize ntopng’s entire interface. What Changed The menu and preferences sections have historically been built on server-rendered HTML — reliable, but not built for speed. Every click meant a round trip to the server and a full page reload, even for something as …

Who Is Eating My Bandwidth ?
Every network administrator has, at some point, asked the same question: who is eating my bandwidth? On a typical corporate LAN connected via flat-rate fiber, the answer is mostly a curiosity — useful for capacity planning, less so for the monthly bill. But the moment your network relies on a metered link — a 4G/5G mobile uplink, a VSAT satellite backhaul, an MPLS circuit billed by volume, or a roaming SIM in an IoT fleet — the same question becomes a cost-control problem, and getting the wrong answer can be …

Discussing of LLM and Intelligent Monitoring at GRNOG 20
Earlier this week ntop attended the GRNOG 20, the annual meeting of Greek Network Operators. This has been a great place to discuss about network visibility in large networks, understand what are the problems network operators face with, and see what ntop can do in terms of visibility. ntop has been traditionally a company based on opens open source, and this has been the location where we have demonstrated how ntopng has been enhanced with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), ASN and infrastructure visibility. One of the main topics of the …

Introducing ntop SBOM (Software BOM)
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a formal, machine-readable inventory that lists every component, library, and dependency included within a software application. Think of it as a digital “ingredient label” that tells you exactly what went into building the software, which versions are running, and where each piece originated. Typically, it documents: SBOMs are increasingly becoming a legal requirement. For instance, governments and strict regulatory frameworks (e.g. the U.S. Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity and the EU Cyber Resilience Act) mandate that software vendors provide SBOMs to …

June 9th: Join us for the ntop AI Webinar
Artificial intelligence is now a mature technology that is changing everyday life. Observability and cybersecurity are not an exception. This webinar explains the ntop vision on using AI, what we have done, and what is the direction we have in mind. Main topics include: We’ll open with a short session on running LLMs locally — why it matters for ops teams, and how local open models like Qwen make this possible without sending your network data to third-party clouds. This is network intelligence that stays on your infrastructure and explains …
