Download it from Google Code

While fully functional, this is a very early release: I have spent only a day to code it. I will put more effort into it, if I see that it fulfill a need hence do not hesitate to provide your feedback As far as I know, this is the first software that use apache mod to make charts.

Here is some screenshot, If you want to see what it look like before using it:

With the growing use of protocols obfuscation techniques, protocol identification for Q.O.S enforcement, traffic prohibition, and intrusion detection has became complex task. This paper address this issue with a probabilistic identification analysis that combines multiples advanced identification techniques and returns an ordered list of probable protocols. It combines a payload analysis with a classifier based on several discriminators, including packet entropy and size.
We show with its implementation, that it overcomes the limitations of traditional port-based protocol identification when dealing with hard to classify protocol such as peer to peer protocols. We also details how it deals with tunneled session and covert channel.
