It uses libpcap through gopacket and presents process and connection traffic in a responsive TUI. ### Projektgeschichte The public GitHub repository was created in 2021. The official README describes a troubleshooting tool that can be started on demand without loading kernel modules and can capture traffic across Linux, macOS, and Windows-specific process matching approaches. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The project has a narrower packaging footprint than the older networking tools it references. The supplied package facts list Homebrew packaging, while the README documents Go installation and Homebrew installation on macOS. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users run sniffer with flags for BPF filters, device prefixes, refresh interval, view mode, DNS resolution, and traffic units. The README documents bytes, packets, and plot modes plus terminal hotkeys. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren sniffer is notable as a small Go CLI that still depends on platform packet-capture facilities: libpcap on Unix-like systems and npcap on Windows. That makes it a packaging example where a statically built Go binary still has native capture prerequisites. ### Zeitleiste - 2021: Public GitHub repository created. - 2021: README links an introductory article dated 2021-11-17. - 2025: GitHub metadata shows repository updates after initial release. ### Related projects - The official README names gopacket, libpcap, bandwhich, nethogs, ss, lsof, gopsutil, npcap, and iperf as related tools or dependencies. ### Quellen - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. escape, surveillance, or offensive capability signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** red / mittel - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - escape, surveillance, or offensive capability signal ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** sniffer - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/de/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/de/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [tcpdump](https://pkg.so/de/brew/tcpdump/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, packet-capture, pcap. - [fastnetmon](https://pkg.so/de/brew/fastnetmon/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, traffic-monitoring. - [netwatch](https://pkg.so/de/brew/netwatch/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, packet-capture, tui. - [httpflow](https://pkg.so/de/brew/httpflow/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, packet-capture, pcap, traffic-analysis. - [daemonlogger](https://pkg.so/de/brew/daemonlogger/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, packet-capture, pcap. - [yconalyzer](https://pkg.so/de/brew/yconalyzer/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, pcap, traffic-analysis. - [sniffnet](https://pkg.so/de/brew/sniffnet/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, traffic-analysis. - [fprobe](https://pkg.so/de/brew/fprobe/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, network-monitoring, networking, traffic-analysis. - [miruo](https://pkg.so/de/brew/miruo/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
