Talk:Argus (monitoring software)

The other Argus monitoring software
I am the author of the this ... the original Argus, ... If you read the history, this argus was started at Ga Tech in 1982 and was developed for cyber security and released into the open source in 1991 from Carnegie Mellon University and the Computer Emergency Response Team. It is an active project, focused on network monitoring, network security forensics and cyber security incident response. This Argus is the original "Netflow" that Cisco developed in the middle 1990's, and has been ported to 28 operating systems, and is used by the US DoD and DISA, DHS, DOE and many universities and corporations to monitor networks and to generate network audit / forensics data. This Argus generates data that is now considered the best for machine learning for network intrusion detection (UNSW-NB15) a data set that has contributed to over 1000 research papers.

The other Argus (monitoring_software) continues to attempt to borrow this Argus's reputation ... Pplease do not merge the two together ... Carter Bullard (chellyaz) ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.182.189 (talk) 21:35, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

As User:Jkister realised, all the sources I found that would support notability of this software actually refer to different software in the same market segment. Both first came out in 1996. Looks like this article should be renominated for deletion or simply hijacked by the other software. --Hans Adler (talk) 21:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

This software is borrowing its name from the Argus network flow monitor project, which was started at CMU in 1991. Its concepts were presented at the Fall IETF in that year, if there is a need for some documentation on the claim. A link to the minutes of the meeting are available on the net. Since then, there have been literally hundreds of references in network security books, scientific publications, and presentations, notably the FloCon conferences sponsored by the CMU's CERT-CC. The ISSA, RSA and Linux references presented in the deletion page are all discussing the CMU argus, not this one. Please see for reference to the Argus network auditing system and its history.

 * This article is about Argus the network auditing software that was in version 3.6 as of October 2008 and does not seem to have received much development since. You are referring to Argus the network auditing software that is in version 3.0.2 as of January 2011. Both are Unix-only open source software. The former is written in Perl, the latter is written in C. The former has an article but is virtually unknown, the latter is notable enough to have an article, but doesn't.

Whatever the claims who highjacked whom, the current link to openargus.org doesn't seem to fit the description on the page and the link to the source code of the argus at https://openargus.org/documentation is failing -- from my POV it doesn't exists
