Deep Network Analyser is an adaptable and open deep network analyzer server, offering great flexibility for extensibility.
As a software architecture and open server, Deep Network Analyser (DNA) is an extremely flexible and extensible deep network analyzer. It passively and thoroughly examines network sessions, applications protocols, and network packets. Due to its extensive range of features, the Deep Network Analyser project is highly recommended for use in a variety of applications, including network monitoring, information gathering, network analysis, intrusion detection, and internet security.
Key Features of Deep Network Analyser:
- An extensible Java-based network sensor that processes layers 2 to 7
- Configurable processing and configurable output
- Packet flows similar to Ethereal and IP flows similar to CISCO netflow
- Extensive stateful sessions (client/server flow pairs) and application protocol element output
- Configurable and extensible application protocol element parsing
- APIs for development and extension of new protocol parsers
- A target-based, full-session capture facility similar to realtime targeted TCPDump
- Flexible targeting from IPAddr, port tuple to application-sensitive targeting
- Configurable and extensible output forwarding (file, database, JMS, RMI, etc.)
- Extensible, realtime collection portable to a variety of OS/packet processing environments
- Easily adaptable to packet processing environments including specialized linux drivers mechanism, network appliances, and network switches/routers
- Highly multithreaded for optimal performance in multi-processor environments
In the latest release, there are a number of new features added to improve performance and ease of use. These include the adoption of OpenAdaptor(tm) as the Output Adapter mechanism, support for local-only administration, a new targeted packet capture parser, new run scripts, and a new installation mechanism. Additionally, numerous bugfixes have been made to ensure that the software runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Overall, DNA is an excellent choice for those in need of a deep network analyzer that is both flexible and extensible.
