Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
Flashstart (http://www.flashstart.com) is an independent web categorization
|
|
service used to enable network administrators to restrict access to certain
|
|
traffic categories (e.g. porn, violence, social networks...). It can be used for
|
|
- inline mode: disable host access to specific information categories
|
|
- passive mode: map to categories the traffic exchanged by hosts.
|
|
|
|
You can apply for a free 15 days trial at http://flashstart.ntop.org. Once
|
|
the registration is completed, you will immediately receive the <username>
|
|
(set to the email address specified during registration) and the
|
|
<password> (generated rendomly by flashstart) necessary to enable
|
|
flashstart web categorization in ntopng.
|

|
|
Using Flashstart with ntopng
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
Supposing that you registered in flashstart as user@email.com (username) and that
|
|
you have received as mypassword as password, you can start ntopng as follows:
|
|
|
|
Passive Mode
|
|
$ sudo ntopng -i eth0 --traffic-filtering flashstart:user@email.com:mypassword
|
|
|
|
Inline Mode
|
|
$ sudo ntopng -i bridge:eth0,eth1 --traffic-filtering flashstart:user@email.com:mypassword
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE
|
|
----
|
|
Flashstart services are queried via DNS TXT requests sent by ntopng to flashstart, i.e.
|
|
no connection with ntop.org hosts are performed, nor ntop.org sees any data/query performed
