I currently use this at work (DoD entity) as our full packet capture solution. Love it and am super happy with the features it has. Interestingly, it's an AOL product (or was? Last I checked). Wasn't aware those guys still do stuff.

Fun fact, Moloch's initial development was funded by DARPA Cyber Fast Track! Glad to hear it's working out for people in DOD.

Very cool! I wonder if that played in to the USAF's selection of it for our defensive cyber platform.

I know someone who works for one of the older ISPs like AOL. They still have millions of dialup customers.

I believe AOL still has a few million still on dialup.

A lot of those connections are backup lines for retail stores to process credit cards if their standard connection goes offline
