  1. 1.in brief

    real-time network traffic TUI

  2. 2.in general

    A cyber-warfare dashboard in the terminal, for a threat model of one apartment.

  3. 3.in particular

    Live packet capture with geo-mapping and Shannon-entropy analysis to spot encrypted vs plaintext traffic.

  1. 1.in brief

    a live map of what your computer is talking to

  2. 2.in general

    A cyber-warfare dashboard in a terminal, defending a threat surface of one flat.

  3. 3.in particular

    It watches network traffic, maps where it is going, and works out which of it is encrypted.


note

A multi-threaded Rust1 TUI that captures TCP/UDP packets, maps destinations onto a world map (Mercator projection), and runs Shannon-entropy analysis to flag encrypted traffic, all in a matrix-style feed with country flags and risk indicators.

note

A terminal dashboard that watches the traffic leaving your machine, places each destination on a world map, and measures how random each stream of data looks. Genuinely encrypted traffic looks like noise, and plain traffic does not, so that one measurement separates them without needing to read anything. Presented as a scrolling green feed with country flags and risk markers, because a monitoring tool may as well enjoy itself.
