A Python command-line tool that monitors, analyzes, and limits the bandwidth of devices on a local network using ARP spoofing and traffic shaping, without requiring administrative access to the target devices. It provides an interactive console with commands for scanning hosts and throttling their upload/download speeds.

Use cases

• limit bandwidth of devices on my wifi network
• throttle download speed of a specific host on lan
• monitor devices connected to my local network
• arp spoofing tool for penetration testing
• cap upload bandwidth of a neighbor's device
• scan local subnet for online hosts

When to choose

• you need to monitor or throttle bandwidth of devices on a Linux local network you control
• you want an interactive CLI for network host discovery and traffic shaping during authorized pentests

When to avoid

• you need a Windows-native tool (use evillimiter-windows instead)
• you want passive network monitoring without ARP spoofing
• you lack authorization to test the target network - throttling others' traffic is illegal
