#### A cyberpunk-themed PyQt6 GUI for monitoring and killing processes by port.

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.
