The event features presentations and workshops on network traffic monitoring, cybersecurity, and open-source technologies, with a focus on practical applications and the latest advancements in ntop and Wireshark tools.

ntopng has been written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform, including Linux and FreeBSD (including pfSense and OPNsense), MacOS and on Windows as well. ntopng captures traffic from SPAN/mirror ports or TAP devices using libpcap, or PF_RING (on Linux) for best performance.

Source code for the Open-Source software is available in the ntop ntop github project. Docker Containers. Ready-to use docker containers are also available on docker hub. User’s Guides. All the tools have a user’s guide available online in HTML format.

Installing on Linux¶ Installation instructions can be found at http://packages.ntop.org/. Development and stable builds are available. Stable builds are intended for production environments whereas development builds are intended for testing or early feature access.
