Hear your network

hearnet - listen to your network

Requirements:

  • libpcap
  • libjack

Synopsis: make sudo make suid # start jack if necessary ./hearnet

Details:

hearnet now drops priveleges when run with the suid bit set, which means you can hook it into your regular non-root jackd, and run it as a normal user.

You can specify a filter expression (a la tcpdump), e.g.:

./hearnet eth0 udp port 53

Very nice for listening to just one kind of traffic. Try this for an accompaniment to your VOIP conversation:

./hearnet eth0 udp port sip
