About tcptrack

tcptrack is a sniffer which displays information about TCP connections it sees on a network interface. It passively watches for connections on the network interface, keeps track of their state and displays a list of connections in a manner similar to the unix 'top' command. It displays source and destination addresses and ports, connection state, idle time, and bandwidth usage. The following screenshot explains a lot:

v1.2.0 (stable)

News

Feb 6, 2008 - tcptrack 1.3.0 released

tcptrack 1.3.0 is now released. This adds a new sort option: by total bytes transferred. This also adds a way to cycle through all sort options. Thanks to Zach Bagnall.

I have not released any SRPMs with this release as I no longer maintain any RedHat-like systems on which to build and test RPMs. The spec file, however, is still included.
