Netify Agent - A Deep Packet Inspection Library

Netify is a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) library - a software component or toolkit that provides the capability to analyze and inspect the content of network packets at a deep level, either in real time or from a packet capture (ex. tcpdump). DPI involves examining the payload of packets, beyond just the header information, to understand the nature and purpose of the data being transmitted.

Netify's primary fuctions are to:

• identify and classify various network protocols, such as HTTP, QUIC, DNS, and more
• recognize specific applications or services running on the network
