Sorry for slow response. Snitch sounds like a tool that will do intercepting or alerting. Little Snitch is perfectly named in this regard. When it pops up prompting you for action, it feels like it just snitched on an app.
What you have here isn't a snitch, it's more like a full map of traffic. I don't have any other suggestions unfortunately.
fair point. ss stays the default on servers because it is already installed.
snitch is for workstation/homelab debugging when i want quicker filtering and selection. also, i do not show send/recv yet, but if i add it later it will be optional (compact mode / toggle) so it fits in split panes.
i am not sure if this would need a different name, you may just have this association because you are using little snitch, but they have completely different use-cases. for now this will just be a way to display ss/netstat data in the terminal in a nice way
I was just pointing to another network tool used for all sorts of fine-grained networking jobs (eg. security testing and others) which might be helpful to others.
It was created by Laurent Constantin (https://linuxsecurity.com/features/introduction-to-netwox-an...) for his own needs and hence the TUI/GUI is not polished. But it is simple, direct and gets the job done which is what is important. And it is a mature tool (hence no need for active maintenance) available in all Linux distros.
dont think this is in homebrew/core, brew install snitch may be a different package, could you paste brew info snitch output? if its not this project, i will add a note to the readme to avoid confusion. but i will be creating a homebrew cask soon
