## Historique du projet et usages

fprobe is a libpcap-based NetFlow probe. Its official homepage and README describe a tool that collects network traffic data and emits it as NetFlow records to a configured collector.

### Historique du projet

The SourceForge project was registered on 2002-09-27. The ChangeLog in the official 1.1 source archive records fprobe 0.8 on 2002-10-25 as the first public release, with partial NetFlow 1, 5, and 7 support and builds tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris on x86.

The 2002 and 2003 releases moved quickly toward production daemon behavior: performance-oriented rewrites, larger hash tables, memory controls, realtime scheduling, SNMP interface index workarounds, TCP flags, daemonization, syslog logging, pidfiles, tcpdump file input, multiple collectors, and manpage updates. Version 1.1 in 2005 included bug fixes, feature enhancement, and a default hash change related to algorithmic-complexity DoS hardening.

### Historique d'adoption

The official SourceForge project remains the download and file-release surface, with release archives from 2002 through 2005 and a project page listing ongoing downloads. Its homepage pairs fprobe with fprobe-ulog, a Linux-only libipulog fork for iptables ULOG packet capture.

### Modes d'utilisation

fprobe runs as a system-oriented command that captures from a libpcap interface or from tcpdump -w data on stdin, applies an optional tcpdump-style filter, tracks flows, and sends NetFlow to one or more remote collectors. Its man page documents interface selection, filters, timers, NetFlow version selection, source address, queue and memory limits, realtime priority, chroot/user options, and collector syntax.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

fprobe is a compact example of early-2000s Unix network-monitoring packaging: a small C daemon, libpcap dependency, man page, init-script contribution, and SourceForge tarball releases. It matters historically as a bridge between packet capture tools and NetFlow collectors before flow export was routine in commodity monitoring stacks.

### Chronologie

- 2002: SourceForge project registered.
- 2002: fprobe 0.8 first public release.
- 2002: fprobe 0.90 focused on performance improvements.
- 2003: fprobe 1.0 was released with changed filter behavior, option -K, and manpage updates.
- 2004: fprobe 1.0.5 changed the default tool location to /usr/sbin and moved the man page to section 8.
- 2005: fprobe 1.1 was released with bug fixes, feature enhancement, and default hash hardening.

### Related projects

- The homepage describes fprobe-ulog as a libipulog-based fork for Linux netfilter ULOG capture. The README also points to nProbe, a namesake fprobe project by Bogdan Surdu, Softflowd, Cisco NetFlow resources, and network-monitoring link collections.
