Porkill is a Linux desktop application for visualising every open network port alongside the process that owns it — and killing it with one click.
It reads directly from /proc/net/ with no external tools required, falling back to ss (JSON or legacy) or netstat when available. Features include real-time debounced filtering, process grouping, container runtime detection (Docker, Podman, containerd), dual-mode SIGTERM/SIGKILL, and privilege elevation via pkexec or sudo. Built with Python 3 and PyQt6.
