Net-glimpse: A little tool for network traffic visualization

• xmichael99 9y ago
  Got as far as requires Java... It's sad but running Java ducks, every time I need to use idrac to a Dell server it really is a nightmare...
  • madsen954 9y ago
    Maybe, but then one can only really use compiled languages ... or isn't it a similar effort with JavaScript/Node.js, Python or PHP?
  • jsiepkes 9y ago
    It's Java's fault Dell wrote a crappy program in it?

  Why not just create a GraphML, GDF or GEXF file and load it into Gephi[1]? Seems way simpler and that program has all kinds of algorithms that lets you visualize graphs. If you want to show the graph to someone else, stream it or make a webm. I guess the only limitation is it would be tough to do it on live data. [1] https://gephi.org/ https://gephi.org/

    You could do interactive view options / drill down with this that needs on the fly reanalysis of the traffic. Doing it all beforehand and generating all possible graph data "just in case" gets too expensive fast. A simple example would be showing desired protocol level details via the Wireshark XML output stuff.
    • lqdc13 9y ago
      You can do all those things in Gephi. Just give each node/edge those attributes and you can filter/query by them. You can very much show desired protocol level details - just convert Wireshark XML to one of the common graph formats and load that.

        So how to address the graph size problem?

  Very nice. Jung has some pretty good java vis libs.

  i remember making this kind of tool for a major telecommunications firm. it was a good project for me as a junior.

  Nice tool, it reminds me of http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ http://etherape.sourceforge.net/
