Dave,

Ironically I am finishing up testing for FlowViewer v 4.0. It now supports 
both flow-tools (for legacy) and SiLK v 3.0 (which supports Cisco's v9 and 
IPFIX.) Version 4.0 also has a new user interface (but preserves all 
existing Trackings, etc.) 

NASA (as govt.) was eligible for a beta of SiLK v 3.0 and we've developed 
FlowViewer 4.0 around it. You will be able to use either flow-tools or 
SiLK, or both at the same time. My testing has set up new Trackings using 
SiLK, but I can't think of why you wouldn't be able to modify existing 
flow-tools ones to use SiLk without missing a beat. I'll test it out :-)

I'm not sure what the NetSA group at Carnegie-Mellon's plans for general 
release for v3.0 are, but FlowViewer is now ready. I'm waiting for them.

You might inquire as to their plans and see if you can get an early copy. 
If so, I can provide a copy of FlowViewer 4.0.

wrt flow-tools, I communicated with Mark Fullmer maybe two years ago. He 
sounded quite interested in doing a v9 upgrade, but must have had higher 
priorities. Still an awesome tool for v5 though....

>From the lack of activity and a few of the last entries, I am slowly
figuring out that flow-tools community support has pretty much
dissolved.  So what are people doing instead of flow-tools?  Has
everyone gone and bought Lancope Stealthwatch or stayed with open
source and gone to SiLK (http://tools.netsa.cert.org/index.html)??

I have quite a lot of time and effort wrapped up in using flow-tools
and both Dave Plonka's FlowScan and Joe Loiacono's FlowViewer.  If I
need to eventually convert away from flow-tools to SiLK, I would
ideally want a simple way to convert both historical data in
flow-tools format and both of these higher level tools' feeds.

Or maybe someone will pick up the pieces and continue with flow-tools
development?

Thoughts???

Cheers,
Dave
