Sven Eckelmann bbb1ea7345 treewide: Change .GPL.+ licenses to SPDX compatible identifier The CONTRIBUTING.md requests an (or multiple) SPDX identifier for GPL licenses. But a lot of packages did use a different, non-SPDX style with a "+" at the end instead of "-or-later". Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>		2019-09-10 07:45:15 +02:00

Netify Agent

Network Intelligence - Simplified

The Netify Agent is a deep-packet inspection server. The Agent is built on top of nDPI (formerly OpenDPI) to detect network protocols and applications. Detections can be saved locally, served over a UNIX or TCP socket, and/or "pushed" (via HTTP POSTs) to a remote third-party server. Flow metadata, network statistics, and detection classifications are stored using JSON encoding.

Optionally, the Netify Agent can be coupled with a Netify Cloud subscription for further cloud processing, historical storage, machine-learning analysis, event notifications, device detection/identification, along with the option (on supported platforms) to take an active role in policing/bandwidth-shaping specific network protocols and applications.

Runtime Requirements

Ensure that the nfnetlink and nf_conntrack_netlink kernel modules are loaded.

Build Requirements

Netify requires the following third-party packages:

libcurl
libjson-c
libmnl
libnetfilter-conntrack
libpcap
zlib

Optional:

libtcmalloc (gperftools)

Download Source

When cloning the source tree, ensure you use --recursive to include all sub-modules.
