Hello everyone,

I would like to ask everyone using nfsen and Peter (Haag) about nfsen 
automation features.


This all depends on the number of flows in your network.

Pushing alterts into any other system is rel. easy to do. Pumping all flows 
into an
ELK stack or the like, requires high resources. Nfdump can output json formated 
flow records,
which can be absorbed by any other system.

Please note, nfsen is old code and will not get new features. It's maintained 
at Github as
many users were asking for compatibility with nfdump-1.7

https://github.com/phaag/nfsen

In general I would recommend to move any discussions to Github:

For old nfsen discussions:
https://github.com/phaag/nfsen/discussions
or nfdump discussions:
https://github.com/phaag/nfdump/discussions

Of course, finally you need to select those sulutions suited best for your 
problem.

I know that nfsen includes features for alerts but I was wondering whether there have been implementations that integrate nfsen with Splunk or Elastic / ELK Stack and/or guidelines to follow with such implementation.

IMHO, integrating nfsen (or probably nfdump only?) with the above (i.e. Splunk or Elastic / ELK Stack) could produce significant benefits in automation and monitoring of a whole network and might be able to be configured to detect DoS/DDoS, port scans, brute force attacks etc and produce alerts for direct response.

By the way, back from 2014 there is an nfsen plugin for detecting DDoS attacks (https://github.com/CERT-GOV-GE/gabriel). Has anyone used it? Are there other similar plugins that provide similar functionality? Your experience with them?

Cheers,
Nick
