    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a cross-platform terminal-based network monitoring tool with real-time connection state tracking and deep packet inspection.
    • Delivers detailed per-process network visibility with multi-threaded packet processing and advanced filtering in a sandboxed, resource-efficient Rust implementation.
    • Use for monitoring active TCP, UDP, QUIC, DNS, and SSH connections with protocol-specific state and lifecycle management on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
    • Use for diagnosing network issues by associating network traffic with running processes and inspecting encrypted protocols via SNI and SSH version detection.
    • Use for security auditing and anomaly detection by filtering connections with keyword and state-based queries, including SYN flood and half-open connection detection.
