#### Simple Traffic Analyzer

Ever wondered which companies and services your computer connects to while browsing the internet?

The ssta.bash script displays all currently established connections, including their corresponding process IDs (PIDs). You can also log these connections for 10 minutes into a file called Traffic.csv in Homedirectory if needed.

At first start run the script in a terminal with
"ssta"

Connect the required permissions (plugs) by running the following commands:

sudo snap connect ssta:network-observe
sudo snap connect ssta:process-control
sudo snap connect ssta:system-trace
sudo snap connect ssta:system-observe
sudo snap connect ssta:netlink-connector

After that, you can launch ssta from the menu ( or by Terminal ).

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install ssta

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
