The main criticism to ntop is the lack of documentation. This is because we have to maintain many projects, have little time, and also because we prefer coding to documentation. We decided to fill this gap and give a positive answer to your requests: We have created the nBox GUI to enable you to use […]
How to build yourself a nBox Probe and Packet Recorder
If you need a network probe or a packet recorder you have two options. Grab a turn-key nBox or built it yourself using our software. In the first case you will receive a optimised system, with the right motherboard/CPU/NIC for your monitoring tasks and all software preinstalled/configured. However if you want to build yourself your nBox […]
Filtering n2disk-captured Packets and Replaying them at 10 Gbit using the nBox
The nBox is not just a no-cost web GUI for ntop products, but it’s a totally new experience for dealing with pcap files. n2disk is able to index packets while capturing and then filter captured packets. Once you have filtered your favourite packets (based on a BPF filter and a time span) you can then […]
Using n2disk for 10 Gbit line-rate packet-to-disk
Packet-to-disk is the ability to dump network packets to disk. This activity is important for implementing a sort of “network time machine” so that when something unexpected happens, you have the ability to access the raw packets and thus inspect the cause of the problems. Implementing efficient packet-to-disk requires high-speed packet capture, speedy disks, and […]
