Sniffnet is a free, open-source cross-platform GUI application for monitoring and analyzing network traffic, written in Rust. It lets users inspect packets, track bandwidth usage, filter traffic, and export PCAP reports with an intuitive interface available in 26 languages.
Use cases
- monitor my network traffic in real time
- see which applications and hosts I'm exchanging data with
- check my bandwidth usage
- capture and export packets as PCAP files
- apply filters to inspect specific network traffic
- get notifications about network events
When to choose
- you want a user-friendly GUI alternative to Wireshark or tcpdump
- you need a cross-platform packet sniffer on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you prefer a security-audited, privacy-focused open-source tool
- you want real-time traffic overview with charts and host details
When to avoid
- you need deep protocol-level packet dissection like Wireshark offers
- you need headless or CLI-only packet capture for servers
- you require scripted/automated analysis pipelines rather than interactive monitoring
