pksh 0.2.0 (Default branch) |
|
|
'pksh' is a hack of the popular 'tcsh' for
packets, bytes hosts, and protocols counts. It is
a shell, a network sniffer, a query language for
network monitoring, and finally a rendering engine
to display in a form readable for humans and
network administrators all traffic on LAN
segments. It aims to give on character-based
terminals the same level of information 'ntop'
already provides via its embedded Web interface.
It does not continuously fill the terminal with
packet/byte/protocol information, but allows the
user to perform his daily job at the shell level
and take a look at network only via a set of
commands implemented as extensions to native tcsh
built-ins. Output can be
filtered/sorted/paged/mailed/etc. using native
Unix commands.

Changes:
This release adds support for a lot of new
counters for bytes, packets, and protocols.
Data-link and IP decoding/counting were enhanced
to include the most popular protocols. A new
built-in extension was added ("protocols") and the
"pkfinger" command now shows network usage per
host in terms of {bytes,packets,protocols}
distribution.
