SYNOPSIS

netshow [options]

DESCRIPTION

netshow is an interactive TUI for monitoring active TCP connections and their associated processes with human-friendly service names. It provides live connection counts, bandwidth monitoring with per-interface selection, and regex-powered search with live filtering.
When run as root, it uses psutil for full fidelity process information; as a regular user, it falls back to lsof. Selecting a connection reveals process details including path, PID, resource usage, and open files.

CAVEATS

Full process information requires root privileges. Falls back to limited information when run unprivileged.

HISTORY

netshow was created by Taylor Wilsdon (taylorwilsdon) and is written in Python.
