Title:

From PCAP to NCAP to NMSG — stream formats for network data capture

Abstract:

Since the release of TCPDUMP in 1987, everyone who analyzes

network traffic has used the PCAP library and stream format to store and use network trace data. In 2007, ISC released NCAP as a proposed update to PCAP. Based on our experiences with NCAP, in 2009 ISC released NMSG as our final proposal. Paul Vixie will describe these evolutionary design steps and show how we’ve used NCAP and NMSG in the ISC Security Information Exchange (ISC SIE).
