sniffnet VS picosnitch

Sniffnet is an open source, Rust-based network monitoring tool I’ve been working on for almost two years now.

As described in this issue the GUI library used by Sniffnet doesn't support yet text selection, but they are working on it and hopefully soon it will.

I’ll be personally talking about Sniffnet, the Rust-based network monitoring tool I’m working on: I’m so excited to share it with the world!

I'm the creator and maintainer of Sniffnet, an open-source network monitoring tool developed in Rust.

Sniffnet is a Rust-based network monitoring tool to help everyone inspect their Internet traffic.

Sniffnet, a cross-platform app to comfortably monitor your Internet traffic written in Rust, has now a website. See the related discussion on Github.

Another option is https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet if you are just trying to see what packets are flowing and who's talking. It's nowhere near as powerful as Wireshark (nor is it designed to be) but it might not be as confusing for someone who is new to network packet sniffing. I think the biggest downside is the Windows install file doesn't come with the NPCAP driver, I think they really need to bundle that with the installer the way Wireshark does, otherwise people may not get it to work.

Yep, and from my experience too (made a tool that monitors network traffic with eBPF [1]) in addition to those issues there is also a sizable latency hit.

Similar to bandwhich, I recently created a snap of my own bandwidth monitor, picosnitch [1]. However I was only able to get it working with classic confinement (so it can't be published on the store) due to there being no snap interfaces for fanotify or BPF kfuncs.

I already packaged it for nearly every distro, but unfortunately most don't have dash [2] in their repos so the user needs to install it separately, and I was hoping that snap would be an easier solution for that.

I created picosnitch which can do this

If you're still having this issue, you can try picosnitch (I recently made it available in copr).

You can use picosnitch for this, I'm the developer and this is exactly the use case I had in mind when designing it (24/7 monitoring of traffic on a per executable basis, primarily in containerized environments).

I wrote picosnitch [1] which has the same notification and bandwidth monitoring features, however it doesn't block traffic for a couple reasons: avoiding scope creep so I can focus on more reliable detection and do things like hash every executable, which makes it harder to block traffic in a timely fashion.

I also wrote a program (picosnitch) which is newer than that list and has a bunch of features none of those other tools have, in case you're interested in checking it out!

which basically says launchpad builds the package directly from that repository, which states: This repository is an import of the Git repository at https://github.com/elesiuta/picosnitch.git.

picosnitch - monitors and hashes programs that connect to the internet, and can check them with VirusTotal.

For Linux, I created picosnitch which does exactly what you're looking for.
