Well, of course, some of the [system monitoring tools][2] should help. But, what if I want more details? + +Well, I came across a nice tool **Sniffnet**. It is a neat **open-source app for monitoring network activity** in real-time, which also acts as a good alternative to the proprietary [GlassWire][3] like [Portmaster][4]. + +So, let's dig in! + +### Sniffnet: Overview ⭐ + +![a screenshot of sniffnet running on linux][5] + +Sniffnet is a **Rust-based** network monitoring tool that lets you track all the internet traffic through your system. It offers some pretty **useful features that a power user will most definitely like**. + +When you first launch Sniffnet, you are shown a menu to select the **network adapter, filters, and application protocol**. + +After you are done selecting, click on the rocket button to get started. + +![a screenshot of the network adapter selector on sniffnet][6] + +This is how the overview page looks; it shows all the current network connections, as well as a handy traffic rate graph for you to analyze the flow of traffic. + +> 📋 You can choose to display data as bytes or as individual packets. + +![a screenshot of the overview tab on sniffnet][7] + +For a more in-depth look at your network connections, you can head to the '**Inspect**' tab. + +Here you will be shown a list with all the important info, such as the IP address, number of packets, amount of data, the originating country, and more. + +You can click on the individual connections to get a more detailed outlook. + +![a screenshot of the inspect tab on sniffnet][8] + +**What if you want to filter the results for a more specific purpose?** + +Well, then you can use the filter options under the 'Inspect' tab to filter the results according to your needs. + +You can filter the list by; application protocol, country, domain name, and more. + +Here's what it looks like: + +![a screenshot of the filter functionality on sniffnet][9] + +Sniffnet can also show you a detailed report of a connection that can be exported in text format. + +Simply click on the logo with a page/right arrow at the bottom-right to get started. + +![a screenshot of the connection report functionality on sniffnet][10] + +**What about the customizability?** + +Well, Sniffnet has a decent set of settings for you to tweak. + +The first one is the 'Notifications' tab, which allows you to set the behavior of notifications according to the various thresholds that can be set. + +![a screenshot of the notifications settings on sniffnet][11] + +Then there are the themes that can be accessed via the 'Style' tab; Four options are on offer, with the Yeti Night being my favorite. + +![a screenshot of the style settings on sniffnet][12] + +And finally, the 'Language' tab allows you to set an interface language of your choice. + +![a screenshot of the language settings on sniffnet][13] + +So, wrapping up. + +Sniffnet is a handy tool that gives a very detailed outlook of the network activity on a system. + +You can use this to monitor your network. + +Furthermore, compared to [Nutty][14], another network monitoring tool, Sniffnet is far more intuitive to use and set up in my opinion. + +### 📥 Get Sniffnet + +Sniffnet is available across multiple platforms including **Linux**, **Windows**, and **macOS**. You can head over to the [official website][15] to grab the package of your choice. + +[Sniffnet][16] + +If you'd like, you can also look closely at its source code on [GitHub][17]. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/sniffnet/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed/ +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w1304/2023/05/sniffnet-first-look.jpg +[2]: https://itsfoss.com:443/linux-system-monitoring-tools/ +[3]: https://www.glasswire.com:443/ +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/portmaster-1-release/ +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_1.jpg +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_2.jpg +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_3.jpg +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_4.jpg +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_5.jpg +[10]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_6.jpg +[11]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_7.jpg +[12]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_8.jpg +[13]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/05/Sniffnet_9.jpg +[14]: https://itsfoss.com:443/nutty-network-monitoring-tool/ +[15]: https://www.sniffnet.net:443/download/ +[16]: https://www.sniffnet.net:443/download/ +[17]: https://github.com:443/GyulyVGC/sniffnet \ No newline at end of file
