 ## Background
 
-Arkime, previously named Moloch, was created to replace commercial full packet systems at AOL in 2012. By having complete control of hardware and costs, we found we could deploy full packet capture across all our networks for the same cost as just one network using a commercial tool, with large retention.

By having complete control of hardware and costs, we found we could deploy full packet capture across all our networks for the same cost as just one network using a commercial tool, with larger retention.
 
 The Arkime system is comprised of 3 main components:
-* **capture** - A threaded C application that monitors network traffic, writes PCAP formatted files to disk, parses the captured packets, and sends metadata (SPI data) to elasticsearch.
-* **viewer** - A [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) application that runs per capture machine. It handles the web interface and transfer of PCAP files.

-Once installed, a user can look at the data Arkime has captured using a simple web interface. Arkime provides multiple views of the data.  The primary view is the Sessions page that contains a list of sessions. Each session can be opened to view the metadata and PCAP data.

+Arkime offers a user-friendly web interface for exploring network data. The Sessions page provides a comprehensive overview, listing individual sessions that can be expanded to view metadata and packet details.
