Rshark

A terminal UI based packet monitoring tool written in Rust.

Installation

Works only on Linux for now.

Prerequisites: rust and cargo.

1. git clone this repository.
2. cd rshark
3. cargo install should install the binary. Make sure $HOME/.cargo/bin is in your $PATH variable.

Usage

USAGE:
    rshark [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -i, --interface <INTERFACE>    Sets network interface to capture packets on

Note that since rshark sniffs network packets, it requires root privileges

Support

Please open an issue and we'll try to help.

Roadmap

• Add code formatting check in CI.
• Add clippy checks for better and idiomatic Rust code.
• Maybe a separate thread for running a timer, to get time of arrival of packets.
• Use the insta crate for snapshot testing(or UI testing).
• Gracefully handle errors instead of just panicking.
• Maybe add a logging functionality for catching errors.
