sisniff

sisniff

Like tcpdump, sisniff captures and displays all connections from and to the local machine. Additionally it will show you the applications belonging to each packet.

It supports TCP, UDP and ICMP packets, both IPv4 and IPv6
The Sniffer accepts some filter like tcpdump.

For HTTP connections, there is an argument to show part of its payload.

Under some cirumstances the program/PID cannot be evaluated. This mavericks would be reported as follow:

 "?/?" = No entry in /proc/net/[TCP/UDP/ICMP]
 "-/-" = Found Inode but no PID
 "./." = The Inode found is '0'

!! sisniff uses scapy's sniff() function, so scapy package is needed:
!! debian: apt-get install scapy
!! pip: pip/pip3 install scapy
!! other systems: http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy

This program needs Python 3.x or Python 2.x.

• Interfaces showed in the help are gathered from the running system.
• program means the name in the 'Program' column, e.g. thunderbird-bin
• not-program excludes the program from beeing showed, e.g. not-thunderbird-bin
• filter is in same syntax as tcpdump uses. Must be written in double-quotes "..."
