NTOP Linux Network Analyzer Tool

May 5th, 2009 by admin | download this post as a .pdf pdf Buzz This

NTOP is a network utilization tool for Linux systems. It can tell you all about your network traffic, where it is going, what’s coming in, and what computers are interacting on your network. It operates on its own server, so don’t worry about integration with Apache.



To install NTOP on Ubuntu, open up terminal and type in

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install ntop

Next, configure your administrative password withthe code below. Then type in an admin password of your choice – twice.
sudo /usr/sbin/ntop -A

Almost home free. Using your open terminal, start up NTOP with
sudo /etc/init.d/ntop start

Open up your browser to http://localhost:3000 or use your ip, domain, or internal ip with port 3000. Now, explore around or take a look at a couple of screenshots.

    Thanks for this. I had read the ntop manpage (dense!!) and tried runnning ntop by hand from the command line and could not get to see anything on port 3000. Now I do!
