New Features

  • nDPI now reports the protocol ASAP even when specific fields have not yet been dissected because such packets have not yet been observed. This is important for inline applications that can immediately act on traffic. Applications that need full dissection need to call the new API function ndpi_extra_dissection_possible() to check if metadata dissection has been completely performed or if there is more to read before declaring it completed.
  • TLS (formerly identified as SSL in nDPI v2.x) is now dissected more deeply, certificate validity is extracted as well certificate SHA-1.

Read more at https://blogs.cisco.com/security/detecting-encrypted-malware-traffic-without-decryption
    • Available as library and in ndpiReader with option -J
