This application monitors network interfaces for incoming traffic and warns users running the desktop client.
The server must run as root to watch the traffic through libpcap(pcapy) and has a threaded approach to managing filtered traffic and client messages. Each filter can be specified with a valid pcap ruleset and the interface specified. The server listens on a unix socket for client connections.
The client connects to the server and waits for messages. The messages are then displayed using libnotify.
The project is beeing developed under Ubuntu 10.10 using Python.
