About:
FastNetMon is a high-performance DDoS detection tool designed to analyze network traffic at line rates exceeding 100 Gbps. It leverages multiple data sources including NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and SPAN/mirror ports to detect malicious traffic patterns. The tool can trigger automated alerts and mitigation actions via BGP, integrating seamlessly with existing network infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Support for NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and port mirror traffic analysis
  • Real-time DDoS detection with sub-second latency
  • BGP integration for remote triggered blackhole (RTBH) and Flowspec
  • High performance capable of processing 100+ Gbps traffic
  • Flexible alerting and mitigation scripting
Use Cases:
  • Real-time DDoS detection and mitigation in ISP networks
  • Traffic monitoring and anomaly detection for data centers
  • Security monitoring for enterprise edge networks
Alternatives:
  • ntopng – ntopng focuses more on traffic visualization and analysis, while FastNetMon prioritizes high-speed DDoS detection and automated mitigation.
  • ddos-deflate – ddos-deflate works at the application layer using firewall blocks, whereas FastNetMon operates at the network layer with flow protocol support.
