Sniffnet is now available for FreeBSD reddit / freebsd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GyulyVGC · 2023-06-23 12:45 Hey everyone! I'm the creator and maintainer of [Sniffnet](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet), an open-source network monitoring tool developed in Rust. Recently, a FreeBSD Port for Sniffnet has been created so that you can install it in your system with: pkg install sniffnet What distinguishes this tool from other popular network analysers is its easiness of use and its ability to report the gathered statistics in a clear and impactful way. You can find out more about this project consulting the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet) or the [official website](https://www.sniffnet.net).

Source: https://www.freshports.org/net/sniffnet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thindil · 2023-06-23 13:41 At the moment, the package is available only in the latest branch, not in the quarterly. Probably here is the problem. 😉 It should be available there soon (TM), in a couple of weeks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GyulyVGC · 2023-06-23 13:56 Awesome, thanks for the clarification! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- whattteva · 2023-06-23 13:58 Awesome!!! Thanks a lot! $ pkg search -D sniffnet sniffnet-1.2.1: Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool to help you easily keep track of your Internet traffic. Whether you want to gather statistics, or you need to inspect more in depth what's going on in your network, this app will get you covered. WWW: https://www.sniffnet.net/ Note: You do have to switch from quarterly to latest repos to see this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rottenrealm · 2023-06-23 15:11 gui only? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GyulyVGC · 2023-06-23 15:40 Yep, it originally was a CLI but I ended up moving to a GUI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- majorshock44 · 2023-06-23 17:25 is it a web gui ? does it work in a cli only ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GyulyVGC · 2023-06-23 17:57 It’s not for web. It’s a cross-platform, native app. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grahamperrin · 2023-06-24 00:08 > … It should be available there soon (TM), in a couple of weeks. +1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grahamperrin · 2023-06-24 00:11 > … switch from quarterly to latest … Less disruptively (without switching): `pkg rquery %e sniffnet` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grahamperrin · 2023-06-24 00:14 Thanks. You can improve the UX by having a **package message**. In the absence of a message, there's no hint of what to do following installation: root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # pkg install --quiet --yes sniffnet Building cache database of MIME types Generating GTK icon cache for /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lkowolowski · 2023-06-24 05:07 Does it read/write pcap files? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GyulyVGC · 2023-06-24 05:37 Unluckily I’m not the maintainer of the package, but I’ll say it to the maintainer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GyulyVGC · 2023-06-24 05:38 Not yet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- grahamperrin · 2023-06-24 06:20 Thanks. Hint: use the ~~first~~ second of the two bug icons at the FreshPorts page, then we'll be able to track the report. ---- Also, maybe enhance the short or long description, for readers to know that it's a: * **cross-platform, native app** – this alone is quite distinctive, so I lean towards mentioning *native app* in the short description. This will be seen in results with [pkg- search\(8\)](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg- search&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-ports). Consider these: `pkg search net` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EndSignificant4955 · 2023-06-24 07:46 Amazing tool!!
