Sniffnet 1.5 Adds App-Level Network Visibility and Live Adapter Previews

The update gives non-experts a clearer view of what their computer connects to in real time.

Overview

  • The new release shows the process behind each connection so users can see exactly which program opened it.
  • A start screen now displays live activity for every network adapter to help choose the right interface before capturing.
  • Under-the-hood changes upgrade the GUI to Iced 0.14, add "!" and "!=" to search filters, and enforce stricter config checks for smoother setup.
  • All traffic is processed locally by design, and Windows users must install the Npcap packet-capture driver or the app will not work.
  • Sniffnet remains a lightweight visual monitor without a firewall, offering quick insight while tools like Wireshark handle deep forensic analysis.
