Introducing Multi-language Support in ntopng

Traditionally all ntop tools have manuals and user interface in English. As sometimes our users are not really familiar with it, we have decided to introduce user interface translation of the user interface so that we can make those users more comfortable when using ntopng. As the moment we have added support for Italian and German, but we might consider adding further languages in the future. When you first login to ntopng after installation you will notice that there is a new menu that allows you to set the language …

Introducing nProbe Cento 1.4 with Hardware Flow Offload

This is to announce the new 1.4 stable release of nProbe cento. The most important feature that comes with this new version is definitely the support for hardware flow offloading as well as various bug fixing and improved netflow template definition. We recently discussed the benefits of hardware flow offloading in another blog post. Hardware flow offloading alleviates, to a great extent, the pressure put on the CPU by intensive tasks such as classification (associating single packets to flows for accounting and deep packet inspection). Basically, hardware flow offloading means that …

Announcing ntopng 3.2 – The First Move Towards Active Network Monitoring

Today we are glad to announce the new 3.2 stable release of ntopng. Among the most important new features available in this release, there is without any doubt an advanced network devices discovery functionality. Historically, ntopng has always been a fully passive monitoring tool. This release aims at complementing the information gathered from a purely passive packet capture with precious extra bits of data obtained by actively searching for devices. Network devices discovery glues together multiple techniques and heuristics, including ARP pinging, SNMP querying, SSDP discovery and MDNS names resolution. …

nProbe 8.2 stable is out – A Wink At Next-Gen ASA Firewalls

We are pleased to announce that the new 8.2 release of nProbe is out. This release features full Cisco ASA NetFlow support. ASA are industry’s first threat-focused next-generation firewalls that export a rich set of information through NetFlow. Being able to collect ASA data using nProbe will give you an advantage over collectors that only interpret standard NetFlow. Collected data can also be sent to ntopng over ZMQ to actually create a very effective solution for the monitoring and visualization of firewall-generated data. ZMQ-based data export has been greatly improved in …

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 that failed due to lack of subprotocol support. We have also revised the core library code so that plugin initialisation is now stored in the plugin itself, making the library core shorter and more readable. …
