Hi there. I've been using nfcap to capture data for quite some time, something 
has been bothering me though for a little while. Mainly whenever I need certain 
data, I don't seem to be able to quite 'ask the right question' using nfdump. 
Does anyone have any example commands for common things such as:

-Find the top 10 tcp/udp (bandwidth) talkers on the network (meaning local) for 
the last 5 minutes.
-Find the top 10 tcp 25 talkers on the network for the last 5 minutes.

Also has anyone been able to use nfdump to locate malicious activity such as 
botnets or DDoS attacks originating from your own network? I.e. looking for IRC 
connections or UDP port 80, or high levels or ICMP...

Sorry if these are wacky questions, I am trying to avoid getting one of those 
really pricy 'netflow analyzers' like Orion because I have a feeling that 
nfdump can do the same thing without the pretty graphs but I am just a little 
weak on how to mine the data at this time.

Thanks,
-Drew
