FastNetMon - A high performance DoS/DDoS and netflowk load analyzer built on top of multiple packet capture engines (netmap, PF_RING, sFLOW, Netflow, PCAP).

What can we do? We can detect hosts in our own network with a large amount of packets per second/bytes per second or flow per second incoming or outgoing from certain hosts. And we can call an external script which can notify you, switch off a server or blackhole the client.

Why did we write this? Because we can't find any software for solving this problem in the open source world!

- [Install manual for FreeBSD](docs/FreeBSD_INSTALL.md)
- [Install manual for Mac OS X](docs/MAC_OS_INSTALL.md)

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/FastVPSEestiOu/fastnetmon.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/FastVPSEestiOu/fastnetmon) [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/FastVPSEestiOu/fastnetmon?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge)

Features:
- Can process incoming and outgoing traffic
- Can trigger block script if certain IP loads network with a large amount of packets per second
- Can trigger block script if certain IP loads network with a large amount of bytes per second
- Can trigger block script if certain IP loads network with a large amount of flows per second
- netmap support (open source; wire speed processing; only Intel NICs)
- PF_RING ZC/DNA support (wire speed processing on tens of MPPS but needs [license](http://www.ntop.org/products/pf_ring/))
- Can process ![sFLOW](http://sflow.org/images/sflowlogo.gif) v5
- Can process NetFlow v5 and v9
- Can use PCAP for packet sniffing
- Can work on mirror/SPAN ports
- Supports L2TP decapsulation, VLAN untagging and MPLS processing in mirror mode 
- Can work on server/soft-router
- Can detect DoS/DDoS in 1-2 seconds
- Tested up to 10GE with 5-6 Mpps on Intel i7 2600 with Intel Nic 82599
- Complete plugin support

Supported platforms:
- Linux (Debian 6/7, CentOS 6/7, Ubuntu 12+)
- FreeBSD 9, 10, 11
- Mac OS X Yosemite 

What is "flow" in FastNetMon terms? It's one or multiple udp, tcp, icmp connections with unique src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port and protocol.
