+Nstreams is a program which analyzes the streams that occur on a network. It
+displays which streams are generated by the users between several networks,
+and between the networks and the outside. It can optionally generate the
+ipchains or ipfw rules that will match these streams, thus only allowing what
+is required for the users, and nothing more.
+
+Nstreams can parse the tcpdump output, or the files generated with the -w
+option of tcpdump. It can also directly sniff the data that occurs on the
+network (the use of tcpdump is however recommanded as long as nstreams is in
+version 0.99.x).
+
+This product was designed by HSC and coded by Renaud Deraison
+(deraison@cvs.nessus.org), author of the Nessus software (www.nessus.org). It
+is available for free and under GNU license.
