I've been looking at ntop ( http://www.ntop.org ) for protocol statistical analysis. It looks like it does everything I could ever imagine wanting for that sort of thing. Does anyone have any experience with it, positive, negative or otherwise?
I think it's marvelous. The only problem I had with it was on one of my networks. The firewall there averages 70,000 simultaneous connections and ntop keeps a record of all the ip addresses that goes through the network. Keeping track of so many addresses bogged down the hash memory so much until ntop was unusable. :( I wound up using iptraf there.
But ntop works great everywhere else I put it. -- Joe _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
