I am developing a set of rules using genetic algorithms to detect
malicious connections. I need to integrate the rules into ntop so that
it can alert when a TCP connection matches one of my rules. Basically, here
are the attributes. Each attribute can have a potential wild card value. 

Duration
Hrs, Min, Sec

Protocol

Source Port

Destination Port

Source IP
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Destination IP
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Where would I put my rules into NTOP and how can I generate an alert
when a match occurs? Or how can I tap into NTOP's capability of tracking
connections in order to create an alerting mechanism. 

I am looking at the NTOP source now. I am just building Python 2.6 on
Debian lenny.
