FlowMeter
FlowMeter is an experimental utility built for analysing and classifing packets by looking at packet headers.
Primary design goals:
FlowMeter aims to:
- Classify packets and flows as benign or malicious with high true positives (TP) and low false positives (FP).
- Use the labeled data to reduce amount of traffic requiring deeper analysis.
Additionally, Deepfence FlowMeter also categorizes packets into flows and shows a rich ensemble of flow data and statistics.

When to use FLowMeter
Use FlowMeter if you wish to build and operate machine-learning models on network packet data.
Quick Start
For full instructions, refer to the FlowMeter Documentation.
Who uses FlowMeter?
- We use FlowMeter internally to quickly analyse and label packets. It forms one part of a project to build a fast pre-filter for packets before we conduct deeper layer-7 analysis in Deepfence ThreatMapper.
