RustNet is a cross-platform terminal-based network monitoring tool that maps live TCP, UDP, and QUIC connections to their owning processes with deep packet inspection. It is sandboxed by default and supports annotated PCAPNG export for Wireshark.
Use cases
- monitor per-process network connections in the terminal
- find which process is making a network connection
- inspect live TCP UDP and QUIC traffic with DPI
- export packet captures with process attribution to Wireshark
- replace netstat with a live network monitor
- identify protocols like TLS SNI DNS and QUIC on my machine
When to choose
- you need per-process attribution for live connections that tcpdump or netstat can't provide
- you want a sandboxed, cross-platform terminal network monitor
- you want Wireshark-ready captures annotated with process and DPI metadata
When to avoid
- you need a long-term centralized network monitoring or alerting service
- you need a GUI-based packet analyzer
- you run an OS or kernel version without eBPF/PKTAP/ETW support
