1. Introduction

This is release 0.1 of KSnuffle. KSnuffle is a network traffic monitor for the KDE desktop. This version should be considered to be Alpha code. It basically works; it does not, so far as I know, crash, but:

1.1 Features

Some of KSnuffle's features include:

KSnuffle passes filter desciptions to the underlying network capture code exactly as for tcpdump. Please see the manual pages for this utility for further details.

1.2 Caveat

Please note that KSnuffle is based on libpcap-0.4, as used in, for example, the tcpdump utility. Since I only have access to Linux machines, I only have libpcap for Linux. If you wish to run KSnuffle on a system other than Linux, you will need to get hold of a suitable version of libpcap and rebuild the program.
