Oryx is a terminal user interface (TUI) application for sniffing and inspecting network traffic in real time using eBPF on Linux. It also provides traffic statistics, a metrics explorer, fuzzy search, and basic firewall rule management.

Use cases

• sniff network traffic on linux from the terminal
• inspect packets in real time with ebpf
• monitor tcp udp icmp traffic statistics
• block network connections with a tui firewall
• explore kernel-level network metrics
• capture and export network traffic to a file

When to choose

• you want a modern terminal-based alternative to tcpdump/wireshark for quick traffic inspection
• you need eBPF-based packet sniffing with a visual TUI on a recent Linux kernel
• you want lightweight firewall rule management alongside traffic monitoring

When to avoid

• you are on an older Linux kernel (below 6.10) or non-Linux platform
• you need deep packet analysis, protocol dissection, or GUI features like Wireshark provides
• you cannot run the tool with root privileges
