Monopticon
This is an application that visualizes ethernet traffic in realtime. It leverages Zeek to capture packets and broker messages and then renders traffic flow with Magnum and OpenGL.
The goal of the software is four fold:
- Provide simple visual network diagnostics to resolve configuration issues.
- Demonstrate attacks, information leakage and erroneous devices in local networks and traffic flows.
- Simplify network reconnaissance and manage man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Define network elements symbolically to simplify the explanation and diffusion of knowledge about computer networks.
This software might be useful to you if you:
- Must configure local networks
- Must defend networks
- Penetrate networks
- Make pew pew noises when pinging 8.8.8.8
