After a ton of work and a lot of fun, I’m overjoyed to announce that Sniffnet finally has a Graphical User Interface!
Sniffnet is a network analyser (packet sniffer) developed with the aim to let people have a glance into their network traffic without pain, in a simple and clear way: to this purpose, the last release of the application introduces a whole friendly GUI (made with iced).



Functionalities:

  • select a network adapter to inspect
  • select filters to apply (currently available: IP version, transport protocol and application protocol)
  • view charts about traffic intensity in real-time (bytes and packets per second, incoming and outgoing)
  • view overall statistics about the filtered traffic
  • view most relevant connections (most recent, most packets, most bytes)
  • view textual report with detailed information on the exchanged packets

In order to reach out to as many people as possible, I also created installers for Windows, macOS and Linux, to make it easier to install Sniffnet for those that still don’t have Rust installed.
