Sniffnet – Comfortably monitor your Internet traffic (Like Wireshark)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Bandwhich

    Terminal bandwidth utilization tool

  • For the CLI, I recently found bandwich: https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich

    The cargo install is currently borked but the prebuilt bin works fine.

  • akvorado

    Flow collector, enricher and visualizer

  • I played with Elastiflow extensively some years ago - it was excellent, if a little hungry on memory, but I suspect most of that was the logstash & elasticsearch overhead.

    Rob did a big rewrite about 4 years ago, I think, licensing the new codebase in a way that led us to look elsewhere.

    There's some alternatives that aren't elastic under the hood, of course. The hard-to-type Akvorado looks very promising, especially given its heritage:

    https://github.com/akvorado/akvorado

    Because we're moving to opentel / prometheus, this project (seems quite active) is especially interesting, with the promise of integrating OS & app metrics, tracing, and netflow insights:

    https://github.com/netobserv/flowlogs-pipeline

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
