rustnet
Per-process network monitor with deep packet inspection
TLDR
Start the interactive network TUI
$ rustnet
Show help / options$ rustnet --help
SYNOPSIS
rustnet [*options*]
DESCRIPTION
rustnet is a terminal UI for live, per-process network activity on Linux/macOS/Windows. It attributes connections and traffic to processes and can perform deep packet inspection for richer protocol insight. Cross-platform and designed with sandboxing considerations for safer packet access.
PARAMETERS
Most controls are interactive inside the TUI after launch. CLI flags select interface, refresh rate, and filter modes—see rustnet --help for the installed version.Root or CAP_NET_RAW / packet-capture permissions may be required for full DPI.
INSTALL
sudo pacman -S rustnet
brew install rustnet
nix profile install nixpkgs#rustnet
CAVEATS
Packet capture may need elevated privileges and can be sensitive on shared machines. Performance cost grows with traffic volume. Not a replacement for wireshark for deep forensic analysis.
