Advancements in Traffic Processing Using Programmable Hardware Flow Offload
This week we have presented at the IEEE HPSR (IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing) our latest work that shows how nProbe can benefit of acceleration provided by modern SmartNICs to achieving multi-100 Gbit traffic processing (both passive and inline) on low-end servers while deep-packet inspecting traffic using nDPI. If you want to know more about it, you can view the presentation slides, or read thw paper. Your feedback is welcome. Enjoy ! …

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 (e.g. Napatech) with support for PCAP chunk mode (e.g. ability for the NIC to collapse packets onside the adapter in pcap format without the need to read packet-by-packet as with most network adapters), in addition …

InfluxDB v2 support in ntopng is Now (partially) Available
It’s been 3 years since InfluxDB v.2 was released and until a couple of months ago we didn’t plan to add the support to the InfluxDB v.2 due to many reasons: migration from SQL to Flux query language, v2 performance not better than v1. The in the meantime InfluxData release InfluxDB v3 that is currently only supported on their cloud and not yet packaged as on-prem product. However due to the more pressing requests and suggestions from our customers we finally decided to add the support as follows: as InfluxDB …

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 …

Using WeChat For Delivering ntopng Alerts
WeChat is a multi-purpose messaging, social media, and mobile payment app developed by Tencent in China. Our Chinese-speaking users requested for a long  time an integration of ntopng with it, and this is to announce it. By integrating ntopng alerts with WeChat, users can conveniently access network notifications within a platform they are already comfortable with. Overall, integrating ntopng alerts with WeChat enhances the user experience by providing timely, centralised, and customisable notifications directly to users’ preferred communication platform. So, we are happy to announce that it is now possible …
