Channel Version Published

Monitors your bandwidth, breaking down traffic by executable, hash, parent, domain, port, or user over time

  • Receive notifications whenever a new program connects to the network, or when it's modified
  • Monitors your bandwidth, breaking down traffic by executable, hash, parent, domain, port, or user over time
  • Web and terminal interfaces with GeoIP lookups for each connection (IP Geolocation by DB-IP)
  • Can optionally check hashes or executables using VirusTotal
  • Executable hashes are cached based on device + inode for improved performance, and works with applications running inside containers
  • Uses BPF for accurate, low overhead bandwidth monitoring and fanotify to watch executables for modification
  • Since applications can call others to send/receive data for them, the parent executable and hash is also logged for each connection
  • Pragmatic and minimalist design focussing on accurate detection with clear and reliable error reporting when it isn't possible
