(1)   The fee is a convenience fee for a pre-built binary.  You can’t ‘buy’
free software.

 

(2)   If your traffic is really VoIP then you won’t see much ‘SIP’ traffic
as that port is used only to setup the call between the end-points.  Once
they agree, traffic will move across two random ports > 1024.

 

There really is no way to figure out this traffic since port ‘3389’ say
could be an RDP session, or it could be half of a sip call.

 

There is one other trap here – ntop uses the lower #ed port to figure out
traffic.  This works ok for protocols which use reserved ports, such as 389
for ldap, since the tcp/ip session is from 389 <-> >1024.

 

Once you get into protocols which use high numbered ports, this will
mis-classify.

 

 

One thought – install something like ethereal and figure out what really IS
in that traffic, then maybe we can help you classify it.

Subject: [Ntop] 85% of Other Tcp/Udp traffic - is there a way to tell
ntophow to decode it?

 

Hi there, 

I got (and paid for) the Windows version of ntop.

After a first watch and a quick analysis of my Internet traffic I've seen
that most of the traffic fall under the "other tcp/udp" category.

After reading the user's guides / faq, and after some searches on google I
found the way to customize my services file (not the one under windows
folder but the one on ntop "root" folder) and I've modified the startup "-p"
parameter to tell ntop to use a custom file containing the protocols
categories I'd like to classify. 

Ntop's behabiour is still the same. Still 85% of other traffic.

Just to make a test I've added RDP (tcp 3389) on the services file and added
a reference to my protocol.list file.

Obviously I've restarted the service but rdp traffic do not appear on IP
stats (and nowhere else).

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advace

Carlo

 

Here is my protocols.list file:

----------------------------------------------

FTP=ftp|ftp-data,HTTP=http|www|https|3128,DNS=name|domain,Telnet=telnet|logi
n,NBios-IP=netbios-ns|netbios-dgm|netbios-ssn,Mail=pop-2|pop-3|pop3|kpop|smt
p|imap|imap2,DHCP-BOOTP=67-68,SNMP=snmp|snmp-trap,NNTP=nntp,NFS=mount|pcnfs|
bwnfs|nfsd|nfsd-status,RDP=rdp,SIP=sip 

----------------------------------------------

And this is the portion of the services file where I've added rdp (and sip)

----------------------------------------------
#
# CDB - 09.06.2007
#
rdp             3389/tcp        # Microsoft Terminal Services
sip             5060/udp        # SIP
----------------------------------------------
