karol-broda··on One Model, Many Views: Type-Safe Transforms with Valibot and Doba
a bit of a older one, but enjoyed writing this on the valibot blog
karol-broda··on Snitch – A friendlier ss/netstat
it’s all code, if you want you can make a pr with adjustments to the demo
karol-broda··on Snitch – A friendlier ss/netstat
yea i was kinda fed up
karol-broda··on Snitch – A friendlier ss/netstat
thanks, but what don’t you like about the name?
karol-broda··on Snitch – A friendlier ss/netstat
that actually is planned for a future version

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

thanks :), havent really seen this much in other projects

was thinking of adding more customizable theming, like highlighting the background and reverse dns resolution was released earlier

this is supposed to be an actually maintained terminal utility for viewing ss/netstat data

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

i fixed it and created a release so building from @latest should work now

agreed on the limits. snitch isnt aimed at adversarial detection; its a local debugging/inspection tool. a competent attacker can blend in by design, so this isnt meant to be a standalone security control

thanks! snitch is closer to an ss/netstat replacement (sockets + processes) than a traffic monitor. traffic monitoring is planned, but not implemented yet.
