Sniffnet version 1.1 is out!
One of the most exciting features of this release is the introduction of IP geolocation:
it refers to the remote IP address of the connection, and it’s performed using an MMDB file.
The MMDB (MaxMind database) format is optimized to perform lookups on data indexed by IP network ranges quickly and efficiently:
this format potentially allows Sniffnet to execute different hundreds of IP lookups in a matter of a few milliseconds.
Another significant new feature is the possibility to set custom notifications to inform the user when defined network events occur.
Finally, a Settings popup page was added to configure the state of the application (persistently stored in a configuration file).
This page allows users to set their notification preferences, change the color palette, and the interface language.
