Sniffnet

We'd like to make a public shout-out to Recall.ai, which just started sponsoring Sniffnet on GitHub 💖 Recall is an API platform that enables developers to easily integrate virtual meeting assistants into Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams to capture recordings, transcripts, and metadata. They recently raised $38M in Series B funding, and they're now hiring system engineers in San Francisco:  if you are interested in building high-performance systems that process over 3TB/s of video at peak load, go check them out! https://lnkd.in/dkFZHdbK

One of the most annoying programming challenges we've ever faced 🤦♂️ In today's blog post, Giuliano Bellini went through the challenges and implementation details of supporting process identification in Sniffnet. If implementing this feature seems like a no-brainer to you, well… read the post because it turned out to be a much more complex task than one could imagine, and this is the reason why the related GitHub issue has been open for almost 3 years. https://lnkd.in/dM9qSwYD

Network issues don’t wait and neither should your alerts🚨 By integrating Sniffnet with SIGNL4, you’ll get real-time, mobile alerts the moment a critical network event is detected. Push, SMS, or voice - your on-call team is instantly in the loop👥📲 Stay aware. Act faster. Resolve issues anywhere, anytime. Learn how: https://lnkd.in/eqJDAiBd

Recently I had the opportunity to chat with JetBrains. They were gathering feedbacks from open-source maintainers about coding habits and programming tools, and I was happy to share that my development experience includes using one of their IDEs on a daily basis (I’m talking about RustRover, of course 🦀). They ended up shipping me some cool merchandise, and including Sniffnet as part of a blog post available here: https://lnkd.in/dm-uAzK7 Needless to say that receiving such nerdy and comfy apparel is the best perk of being the maintainer of an influential open-source project 😂😍 #JetBrainsGear #RustRover

Did you know that the source code behind Sniffnet is written using RustRover? 🦀 RustRover is an IDE by JetBrains that makes Rust programming more productive thanks to features like context-aware code completion, on-the-fly quick-fixes, and smart refactorings. Today we’re proud and excited to share that Sniffnet is included in the latest blog post by JetBrains itself, written by Lena Morozova as part of the series “Open Source in Focus”.

Monitoring a remote machine's network activity can be challenging 😫 But, hey — the latest version of Sniffnet introduced webhook notifications as a possible way to address this problem. Today's blog post will show you how to use Sniffnet to monitor your machine’s Internet traffic from afar by leveraging integrations with alerting services like SIGNL4. You’ll also learn how to get the most out of built-in notifications by setting up advanced packet filter programs. We wish you all a joyful holiday season in advance and, as always, happy sniffing! https://lnkd.in/d4_TQ4yS

Sniffnet 1.4.2 is here 🥳️️️️ The most relevant additions are the ability to forward in-app notifications to a custom webhook URL, and the possibility to freeze packet captures. Moreover, from now on the app is also built and shipped for Windows ARM64 architectures. You can find more information in the release page. https://lnkd.in/dam3enZ5

Sniffnet version 1.4.1 is out 🎉 Enhanced filtering capabilities with support for BPF syntax, support for monitoring the 'any' interface on Linux, and extended configurations persistence are just some of the new features introduced with this release. This is also the first version to be shipped as an AppImage for Linux, and to have a signed installer for Windows, thanks to a code signing certificate kindly provided by SignPath GmbH. See the release page for more info. https://lnkd.in/djkzRSmu

Sniffnet is 3 years old today 🥳 This is the perfect moment to glance back at the past year, have a look at what the future holds, and reflect on the importance of sustainable open source when it comes to a project’s longevity. A special thanks goes to the NLnet foundation for financially supporting the past months of development through the European Union's Next Generation Internet program.
