sniffnet v1.3 releases: Application to comfortably monitor your Internet traffic

sniffnet

Sniffnet is a network monitoring tool to help you easily keep track of your Internet traffic. Sniffnet is a technical tool, but at the same time it strongly focuses on the overall user experience: most of the network analyzers out there are cumbersome to use, while one of Sniffnet’s cornerstones is to be usable with ease by everyone.
