FastNetMon vs Haltdos

FastNetMon analyzes live network traffic to detect DDoS attacks in near real time and trigger mitigation according to operator-defined rules and workflows. It identifies volumetric and packet-rate attacks using configurable thresholds. Traffic telemetry can come from routers and switches through sFlow, NetFlow, IPFIX, jFlow, or mirrored traffic. Mitigation options include remote-triggered blackholing, BGP FlowSpec filtering, and diversion to external scrubbing centres. The platform supports IPv4 and IPv6, and is described as scaling to terabits of traffic and millions of flows per second on commodity hardware. Listed networking vendors include Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Huawei, and Arista. Other capabilities include AWS and Google Cloud traffic visibility, Grafana dashboards, and blocklist filtering. Deployment options include Docker, virtual machines and hypervisors, Google Compute Engine, ARM 64, and Ubuntu LTS. The 30-day free trial includes detection, automated mitigation tools, and traffic visibility and analytics, with no credit card required. The 10G plan costs $115 a month for 10 Gbps observed traffic; monthly subscriptions also have a one-time $85 USD activation fee.

It includes more than 4,000 signatures, machine-learning-based zero-day protection, file-upload antivirus scanning and sandboxing, and DDoS protection from Layer 3 to Layer 7. An API gateway provides authentication, rate limiting, transformation, and observability. Bot controls include detection and mitigation, device fingerprinting, mobile SDK protection, JavaScript and CAPTCHA challenges, and deception technology. Enterprise WAF also lists incident logging, analytics and dashboards, SIEM integration, and PCI compliance reporting. Deployment options include SaaS, virtual, hardware, and MSSP, with on-premise and public- or private-cloud deployment. Community WAF runs on a VM, Docker, or hardware and requires at least 2 GB RAM, 60 GB disk space, and 2 vCPU cores. Community WAF is free for one website and one security profile. Professional WAF costs $30 a month, billed at the end of each monthly billing period based on requests processed; the first 100K requests are free.
