Network Traffic

Driftnet is a program which listens to network traffic and picks out images from TCP streams it observes. Fun to run on a host which sees lots of web traffic. In an experimental enhancement, driftnet now picks out MPEG audio streams from network traffic and tries to play them. (Obviously,...

iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. iftop project listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. Whats New in This Release: - This release includes improved support for non-Linux platforms, including...

RPCAP is a Remote Packet Capture system. It enables you to run a packet capture program (the server) on a target computer, which will sniff the network traffic on that system, and uplink the captured packets to another host (the client), where the captured packets can be processed, analysed and...
