ELLIO for ntopng: HowTo Prevent CyberAccidents Using Blacklists

Time is one of the main problems in cybersecurity. Detecting issues after they have happened can cost you money and resources to restore the system. Network traffic monitoring tools have as goal to show what is happening on a network.  Traditionally, monitoring protocols such as IPFIX/NetFlow export monitoring data periodically and often limit their analysis to the protocol header, thus the flow collector is partially blind as it is informed after a certain event happened with limited contextual information. In ntop tools we operate in real-time with pre-labelled information thanks …

HowTo Use Cloud Licenses

As discussed in our spring webinar, it is now possible to use (in beta) cloud licenses with ntopng and nProbe. Contrary to standard licenses that are bound to a physical system (based on the systemId), cloud licenses are “floating” as the same license file can be used on multiple hosts, of course not simultaneously (i.e. only one system at time can use the license). This is good news for those who use containers or VMs as they do no have to pay attention to the systemId anymore. If you want …

ntop Cloud: Basic Concepts

We have designed the ntop Cloud as a way to securely interconnect customer applications deployed across hosts in heterogeneous environments not necessarily directly interconnected. Initially the goal of ntop Cloud is to enable users to administer easily these applications, update/restart/stop/start them with a mouse click, reconfigure them, and supervise their activities. Future SaaS (software as a service) features are planned but not a short term goals. The idea is to simplify application deployment, check application status regardless of the physical network, detect restarts etc. things that before the ntop Cloud …

ntop Cloud: Security Design and Architecture

In late 2023 we have announced the beginning of a new project we have called ntop Cloud. The first goal of this project is to enable ntop applications to communicate regardless of the network topology where they are deployed, This in a secure way. In essence we want to create a new network overlay that allow ntop applications to communicate and share data. Some use cases: Be notified when a ntop application is no longer active or more in general when it changes its status. Implement a public web interface …
