nProbe

Network traffic needs to be under constant surveillance to prevent infection and massive spreading of malware content. In this regard, NetFlow comes as a standard for network traffic accounting in commercial environments. This is where nProbe kicks in as a traffic data collector, monitor, and analyzer.

The package contains the application installer, which is deployed as a service in Windows. It requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2015 and Win10Pcap to properly function, but the two components can also be delivered through the setup operation.

The application includes a NetFlow v5/v9/IPFIX probe, as well as a collector for the respective data. This makes nProbe suitable for grabbing and exporting flows generated by border gateways, switches, routers, and other devices supporting NetFlow v5/v9, replacing existing low-speed NetFlow, analysis of multi-Gbit networks with minimum or no packet loss, and sending flows to open-source or commercial collectors.

Functionality extends beyond Windows environments to nearly anything supporting ARM and MIPS/MIPSEL. It supports layer-7 application visibility and propagation for accurate accounting, NetFlow v5/v9/IPFIX, Cisco NetFlow-Lite, full IPFIX with PEN and variable length encoding, IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, export flows to Apache, Syslog, MySQL, MariaDB, Splunk, dump flows in ready-for-import formats, flow and packet sampling, save flows on disk, and more.
