Last week we have previewed at FlowCon 2016 conference our new 100 Gbit probe called nProbe cento (cento is 100 in Italian). You can find our presentation slides here. We believe that it is important to combine flow monitoring with security and packet to disk. This in an integrated manner, and not by using different […]
Join us at the San Francisco Network Visibility Meetup on Jan 19th
After the Flocon 2016 meetup we held this week, next week we’re organising a meetup for our users of the bay area where we will discuss a new arguments including high-speed sensors and network analytics. http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Network-Visibility-Meetup/ For those who have not attended the Flocon meetup (~25 people attended it, for a 30 min presentation followed by […]
You’re invited to the ntop Meetup at Flocon 2016
Topic: ntop Meetup – Affordable High-Speed Sensors Everywhere Abstract: Come and meet Luca Deri, members of the ntop team, and fellow “ntop stack” users and partners as we talk about making instrumentation of the entire infrastructure possible with sensor prices at cost points not before considered possible! Luca and his team are also looking for […]
ntop 2016 Roadmap
2015 has been a year full of activities that allowed us to consolidate our tools and thus provide a better service to the community. In 2016 the plan is the following: 100 Gbit As in 2015 we have added support for 40 Gbit in PF_RING, 2016 will be the year of 100 Gbit. We already support […]
Interview with Luca Deri
For all our Italian-speaking friends, yesterday I have been interviewed by an Italian magazine. This is the link to the interview. Enjoy!
ntopng 2.2 Just Released
After over 6 months of work, we’re pleased to announce the release of ntopng 2.2 (as already discussed even numbers identify stable releases whereas odd number development versions). The goal of this release has been to consolidate the existing work, fix issues reported by users, improve the reports we have introduced in 2.0 and pave […]
Exploring Historical Data Using ntopng
In the original ntopng it was possible to navigate historical information using a so called “Historical Interface”. Such interface was a logical network interface able to read flow data from a SQLite archive and present them on the web interface. This approach had various limitations when it was used to navigate data on a long […]
Yes, There’s Life After NetFlow
At ntop we’ve been playing with NetFlow/IPFIX since more than 10 years and been part of its standardisation. While we acknowledge that concept of flow (a set of packets with common properties such as the same IP/port/protocol/VLAN) is still modern, the NetFlow format is now becoming legacy as we have already discussed some time ago. […]
Released nDPI 1.7
This is to announce the release of nDPI 1.7. In addition to many new/updated dissectors, the main change of this release is the ability to identify subprotocols. For instance a DNS request Facebook is not identified as DNS.Facebook (previously only Facebook). This is a great additions for apps that used nDPI to block protocols and […]
Using ntopng to Implement a WiFi Access Point with Layer 7 Traffic Enforcement
This post will teach you how to create a cheap WiFi access point able to enforce layer-7 application protocols. In order to do this you can use a cheap RaspberryPi or BeagleBoard with a USB WiFi stick, or use a x86 PC. The USB stick we use is the following # lsusb Bus […]
