(Please pardon the cross-post. I should not have sent this to ntop-dev.)
Hi, I'm the maintainer of a script used by the Security Onion community to
install ntopng onto Security Onion sensors (on Ubuntu 14.04):
https://github.com/branchnetconsulting/so1404-ntopng-installer
The script makes it possible to install ntopng from your apt-stable repo
onto Security Onion without causing conflicts between the
securityonion-pfring-* packages and your repo's pfring package.
When the latest stable ntopng packages recently started depending on pfring
6.4 instead of 6.2, this solution stopped working. While I'd like to see
pfring 6.4 support get onto the Security Onion roadmap, I expect it will be
some time before that will be ready. For now, it would be great if
Security Onion users could have access to the last stable version of
ntop-ng as it was before it was repackaged to use the newly released pfring
6.4.
I am specifically requesting a copy of the latest stable ntopng and
ntopng-data deb packages for Ubuntu 14.04 that still depend on pfring 6.2,
along with the matching pfring 6.2 deb package itself. If you like, I
would be happy to host them on my github page (clearly marked as hosting an
OLD version of ntopng) and point my script to pull the packages from there
until Security Onion starts supporting pfring 6.4.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. We really appreciate the quality
product that ntopng has come to be.
