What problem it solves

People need a clear way to inspect network activity, understand traffic patterns, and identify the programs and remote hosts involved in connections. The project addresses this with a cross-platform application for monitoring, analyzing, and inspecting observed traffic.

Key features

• Traffic monitoring and inspection — Choose a network adapter, apply filters to observed traffic, and inspect individual network connections in real time. The application also provides statistics and real-time charts about Internet traffic.

• Host and service identification — Discover geographical locations, domain names, and ASNs for remote hosts, and identify upper-layer services, protocols, trojans, and worms. The application can also show which programs are generating network bandwidth.

• Capture reports and connection data — Import and export comprehensive capture reports as PCAP files. Local-network connections can be identified, while favorites provide a way to save commonly used network hosts, services, and programs.

• Notifications and blacklists — Configure custom notifications for defined network events and import custom IP blacklists to highlight potentially dangerous connections. The release notes also document support for CIDR ranges in imported blacklists.

• Cross-platform interface and customization — The application is cross-platform and provides theme customization. It can also continue monitoring network activity while minimized and offers a thumbnail mode for viewing information.

Who it may suit

This project may suit people who want to monitor network traffic from a graphical, cross-platform application, including users interested in connection inspection, traffic analysis, service identification, and network-event notifications.

Topics to discuss

• Which network-monitoring workflows should be prioritized for future development?

• Which connection details and traffic statistics are most useful in the interface?

• How can the application better support different operating systems and network environments?
