This is cool, thanks for sharing! I'll be honest, I didn't think AOL did anything...interesting...but this is interesting to me! What are some open-source alternatives / analogues to this product?
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. ;-)
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.
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.
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.
Seems like there would be at least some overlap with Metron[1] and/or Spot[2].
Of the two, I'm more familiar with Metron (I actually did a small amount of work on it back before it was an Apache project). The core "thing" of Metron was always a large-scale, high-speed packet capture mechanism that would allow you to apply real-time streaming analytics / ML to packet streams, as well as supporting indexing the packets with ElasticSearch for post-hoc retrieval / analysis.
Spot seems to employ some similar ideas, but I haven't dug into it as deeply.
