Network traffic capture and analysis CLI with protocol distribution, top talkers, and bandwidth visualization.

This is a quick overview — security theory, architecture, and full walkthroughs are in the learn modules.

What It Does

• Capture live network traffic on any interface with configurable packet counts
• Real-time protocol distribution analysis with percentage breakdowns
• Top talkers identification showing most active IP addresses by traffic volume
• Bandwidth calculation with bytes sent/received per endpoint
• Verbose mode displays individual packet flow with source/destination details
• Built on Scapy for deep packet inspection and protocol parsing

Quick Start

uv tool install netanal
sudo netanal capture -i eth0 -c 100

[!TIP] This project uses just as a command runner. Type just to see all available commands.

Install: curl -sSf https://just.systems/install.sh | bash -s -- --to ~/.local/bin
