Sorta like https://www.wireshark.org/. But Moloch is a very active project, used by many, and used internally at Verizon Media. Aol is part of Verizon Media (which brought AOL and Yahoo together). Open source is very active here. ;-)

Compare also to https://enterprise.verizon.com/products/security/advanced-th... (formerly known as Protectwise), which is not open source.

Oh woah cool! I love the Verizon dashboard, looks very polished for an internal tool! I have a friend who did some network security work for Comcast, interesting stuff it is.

Those are some good looking dashboards.

Ignorant question for you: What does AOL do these days (I can't view the website for the same reason I don't read TechCrunch articles)?

Is it fully about online publications now?

You can see https://www.verizonmedia.com/our-brands to see the collection of online brands in the family. You might use lots of these brands today without really noticing. There's a lot of internet content you get via https://www.verizondigitalmedia.com/ which is also part of the same company. Aol is still a thing, people do use it. Many people use lots of these brands as part of their internet experience.

If you are here, you probably care about internet security. Verizon Media runs a pretty significant Bug Bounty program https://hackerone.com/verizonmedia which you can read about here https://www.protocol.com/hackerone-bug-bounty-virtual-verizo... and their blog here https://www.verizonmedia.com/technology/security#/bug-bounty

You might even be looking for a job as an information security professional. You can join "The Paranoids" team (now that's a good name, don't you think!) by checking out some of their jobs. https://www.verizonmedia.com/careers/search.html?q=paranoids

Digital Programmatic Ad Buying Platforms for Brands by Verizon, formerly Oath Ads Platforms formerly BrightRoll, ONE by AOL (formerly Millennial Media) and Yahoo Gemini, which themselves have other ad tech acquisitions burred in them (Gravity, Adap.tv, Convertro among others come to mind) is the fifth largest digital marketing provider behind Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Verizon Media (Engadget, Huffpost, TechCrunch, Yahoo Finance, News Sports etc) are the other big component of the company.

Not ignorant, they don't advertise it, ironically(?).

They're an ad network.
