A web-based network traffic monitoring and security analysis application for real-time network visibility.
ntopng is a web-based network traffic monitoring and security analysis application that provides real-time visibility into network activity. It helps administrators monitor traffic flows, detect anomalies, and analyze performance across their network infrastructure. As the successor to the original ntop, it offers enhanced features and usability for modern network environments.
Network administrators, system engineers, and security professionals who need to monitor, analyze, and secure network traffic in real-time.
Developers choose ntopng for its comprehensive open-source monitoring capabilities, multi-platform support, and deep traffic analysis features that rival commercial solutions without licensing costs.
Web-based Traffic and Security Network Traffic Monitoring

Pre-built packages for Debian/Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL, Windows, ARM for Raspberry Pi, and FreeBSD make deployment straightforward across diverse systems, as listed in the README.
Provides real-time visualization of flows, protocols, and hosts, along with security anomaly detection, for comprehensive network analysis, as highlighted in the key features.
Accessible from any browser, allowing remote monitoring and troubleshooting without installing client software, enhancing usability for administrators.
Licensed under GPLv3, it's free to use, modify, and distribute, avoiding licensing fees and encouraging community contributions.
Compiling from source requires following the detailed doc/README.md, which can be daunting for users unfamiliar with build systems, as the README suggests starting there for compilation.
While it offers API documentation, integrating with external tools like SIEMs may require custom development and additional configuration, beyond basic features.
Real-time traffic analysis on busy networks can be CPU and memory intensive, potentially impacting performance on lower-spec hardware, a trade-off for deep monitoring.
