sniffnet conditionally approved

on the condition that someone maintains it.

This is a good thing, if someone maintains it. Personally I always have wanted to observe network traffic and existing programs were way over my head and intimidating. Look at this https://sniffnet.net/ --it's a Newb GUI.
The joke might be on me since I would need context about what it is I'm seeing but with a novice tool like this it may be easier to understand.
(PS @Axios which one are you running again?)
PSS--I got the tarball. will report back if I play

brent I was using opensnitch (But its broke for me) its more of an access control program
And I think Sniffnet is more just an info Program (But their is a lot good info there from what I see) I think its prob
more along the lines of wireshark (Which I never did like)

I did not make the distinction between an access control program and a pure monitor info program. I am learning. For sniffnet I would like that kind of control. I will read their wiki later.

stocc Wireshark was my favourite tool for many years. Then again, I was a network engineer for about 30 years...

yes this is the big scary intimidating program I was referring to above 🙂 at least to a layman
