rustnet
Per-process network monitoring for your terminal with deep packet inspection. Cross-platform, sandboxed.
INSTALLATION
$ brew install rustnet$ sudo pacman -S rustnet$ cargo install rustnet-monitor$ choco install rustnet
DESCRIPTION
RustNet is a terminal-based, cross-platform network monitor that maps active TCP, UDP, and QUIC connections directly to their owning processes using eBPF, ETW, or native APIs.
It features built-in deep packet inspection (DPI) to identify protocols like HTTP, TLS/SNI, and DNS without external tools, and includes sandboxing for security.
