Maltrail is a malicious traffic detection system used for network intrusion detection. It consists of a network intrusion sensor for monitoring interfaces, a threat intelligence aggregator for syncing blacklists, and a detection engine that identifies security threats through signature matching and heuristic attack patterns. The system distinguishes itself through a distributed sensor architecture that collects traffic data from multiple remote probes and forwards events to a central analysis server. It employs heuristic behavioral analysis to identify unknown threats, such as port scanning o
Zeek is a network analysis framework and security monitoring tool that transforms raw network packets into high-level semantic logs. It functions as an application protocol analyzer and network intrusion detection system designed to extract meaning from network traffic and monitor for malicious activity. The system focuses on archiving network activity and maintaining historical records of application-layer state for forensic investigation and auditing. It utilizes a combination of modular protocol analyzers and customizable detection policies to perform deep semantic analysis of numerous app
Security Onion is a security information and event management platform and network security monitoring suite. It functions as an intrusion detection system and a network traffic analysis tool designed to identify malicious activity and network intrusions through signature-based detection and host-based monitoring. The platform integrates a security case management system to organize investigations by tracking detections and grouping related security events. It provides capabilities for full packet capture, network metadata extraction, and the collection and indexing of security logs from dive
nDPI is a deep packet inspection toolkit and network protocol classifier designed to identify protocols and detect security threats through packet payload inspection. It functions as a network security monitor and a traffic analysis framework used to determine the services originating network flows. The system utilizes a modular dissector architecture and a sequence-based dissector chain to interpret network traffic. It supports custom protocol definition and protocol dissector extensions, allowing for the identification of proprietary or new network protocols. The toolkit provides capabilit
Real Intelligence Threat Analytics (RITA) is a framework for detecting command and control communication through network traffic analysis.
