FlowProbe is a network monitoring appliance that passively captures and analyzes network traffic to generate enriched, unsampled flow records for security, network performance monitoring (NPMD), and compliance use cases. It is designed for large-scale environments such as service providers, data centers, and national networks, monitoring up to 480 million concurrent flows at 14 million flows per second, with a single 1U appliance processing up to 800Gbps of traffic. FlowProbe provides Layer 4-7 visibility, including protocol metadata for SSL/TLS, HTTP, DNS, SIP, ASN, URI, and JA4 fingerprinting. It performs application and content classification on encrypted TLS 1.0-1.3 traffic and stitches uplink and downlink flows into single records for analysis. The appliance includes de-tunnelling capabilities to detect and decode tunneled traffic types such as GRE, GTP, MPLS, IP-in-IP, PPTP, and Tunnelled Ethernet, enhancing visibility into traffic that would otherwise be opaque to monitoring tools. Flow records generated by FlowProbe can be exported to Telesoft TDAC, IPFIX collectors, or JSON consumers for integration into existing security, compliance, and network monitoring workflows.</description> <parameter name="summary">Appliance for real-time, unsampled network flow monitoring and L4-L7 threat visibility at scale

Packet Forensics offers a line of hardware sensors and accompanying software for capturing and analyzing network and radio frequency communications traffic. The M-Series consists of modular, rack or cabinet mountable devices supporting multiple wired network interfaces, intended for data center and telecom environments, operating in either passive or active mode depending on licensing and equipment restrictions. The 5-Series consists of small form factor sensors for Ethernet networks, designed for portability and rapid deployment to branch offices or smaller environments, also supporting passive or active modes. The WT-Series consists of small form factor sensors for radio frequency (RF) environments, used in applications such as border security, facility and force protection, public safety, and law enforcement. An accompanying Angler Sensor adds visibility into cellular frequencies, and the WT Analytics software provides additional data insight from WT-Series sensor output. The Sensor Management software provides close-proximity and remote management of Packet Forensics devices, including the ability to apply communications policies to devices through a drag-and-drop interface. The Analytics offering includes software developed for large-scale data processing, combining device data with data retrieval and API software developed in-house, originally built for the WT-Series platform starting in 2013. These products are marketed toward corporate enterprises and law enforcement organizations for use cases including active network defense, lawful intercept, and communications policy enforcement.</description> <parameter name="summary">Hardware sensors and software for network traffic capture, RF monitoring, and lawful intercept
