Introduction
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 realtime or from a packet capture (ex. tcpdump). DPI involves examining the packets, beyond just the header information, to understand the nature and purpose of the data being transmitted.
Netify's primary functions are to:
- idenitify and classify various network protocols, such as HTTP, QUIC, DNS, and more
- recognize specific applications or services running on the network
