Hi! I'm Andy, a developer passionate about open-source software and the critical role it plays in securing our digital world. I'm the creator and active maintainer of Arkime (https://arkime.com/), a full packet capture and analysis system. Think of it as a powerful network security tool that allows you to capture, store, and analyze network traffic, helping identify and respond to security threats. It's a complex project, but incredibly valuable for network defenders.

Maintaining and improving Arkime takes a significant amount of time and effort. Your sponsorship directly enables me to dedicate more of my time to this project, allowing me to:

  • Develop new features: Arkime is constantly evolving, and your support helps accelerate the development of crucial new functionalities that enhance its capabilities.

  • Improve performance and stability: Ensuring Arkime runs smoothly and efficiently is paramount. Your sponsorship helps fund the time needed to optimize the codebase and address any bugs or performance bottlenecks.

  • Provide better support: A strong community is vital for any open-source project. Your support will allow me to dedicate more time to answering questions, addressing issues, and fostering a more vibrant and helpful community around Arkime.

  • Cover essential expenses: Running Arkime's infrastructure, including domains, websites, and testing environments, comes with costs. Your contributions will help offset these expenses, ensuring the project's continued accessibility.

By sponsoring me, you're not just supporting me personally; you're investing directly in the future of Arkime and contributing to a more secure digital world. Every contribution, big or small, makes a tangible difference. Thank you for supporting my work!

My first goal is to reach 10 sponsors! This level of support will provide a solid foundation, allowing me to dedicate significantly more time to Arkime. It will also help cover a larger portion of Arkime's infrastructure costs, ensuring the project's stability and longevity. Every sponsor brings me closer to this goal and makes a real difference in the future of Arkime.
