nPrint

Overview

nPrint is a collection of open source software and benchmarks for network traffic analysis designed to replace traditional, task-specific approaches to analyzing network traffic.

Components

1. nPrint

Offers a generalized representation enabling machine learning applications in network traffic examination.

3. pcapML

Standardizes traffic analysis tasks by embedding metadata directly into raw captures.

GitHub: github.com/nprint/pcapml

4. pcapML_FE

Delivers an accessible interface for working with metadata-encoded traffic data.

5. pcapML Benchmarks

Enables quick, comparable performance testing across traffic analysis tasks.
