Abstract
A system and method for monitoring network communications are provided. The method comprises capturing one or more packets of data in a networking stack of a computing device. Then, a unique identifier is associated with the computing device that uniquely identifies the computing device. The unique identifier and a sample of the contents of each of the one or more captured packets of data are then stored. The method may further comprise generating hybrid flow data by processing the stored unique identifier and the sample of the contents of each of the one or more captured packets of data. The hybrid data flow comprises the unique identifier, the sample of the contents of each of the one or more captured packets of data, derived network flow data, and derived statistical packet data.
