Howto Build a (Cheaper) 100 Gbit Continuous Packet Recorder using Commodity Hardware
Those who follow this blog probably read a few posts where we described how to build a 100 Gbit continuous packet recorder using n2disk and PF_RING, providing specs for recommended hardware and sample configurations (if you missed them, read part 1, part 2 and part 3). In those posts we recommended the use of FPGA-based adapters […]
InfluxDB v2 support in ntopng is Now (partially) Available

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 […]
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. […]
