Network monitoring on Linux

Louis Maddox edited this page Feb 1, 2021 · 1 revision

Some packages I found useful for watching network traffic (statistic level and per-domain level)

sudo apt install bmon iftop wireshark-qt
  • bmon: gives little ASCII graphs of network activity (for levels too low for the system Network Monitor to show on its axis)
  • iftop (call with sudo): logs domains contacted
  • wireshark (upon installation will ask if you want to set it to run privileged, if you don't understand then accept its default suggestion)
