Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure a smart hacker could find
all sorts of juicy bits of info from it. My Ntops sit behind a firewall
and are inaccessible to the "world", but I still password protect them
just in case I have an intruder or an evil employee. If nothing else it
provides some insight into your network application logic by showing the
relationships between machines.

FWIW, it's probably not the smartest thing to have an instance of ntop
open for the world to see.  I don't KNOW of any problems, but it can
expose a lot of internal information and so make hacking easier... At
least require a password for all pages (see instructions in docs/FAQ)
