lippycat: network analysis from the terminal
A Catalan-language manual describes a CLI and terminal interface for capturing and analyzing network traffic, including distributed capture.
- For
- Network operators and VoIP or security analysts
- Worth noticing
- The manual describes per-call VoIP PCAP files and distributed capture through lightweight “Hunter” nodes.
Field notes
The manual organizes the command line around verbs and objects, then maps a progression from local sniffing and terminal monitoring to distributed capture and remote watching. It describes filters for protocols, hosts, ports, and BPF expressions, plus PCAP output for offline review. For VoIP, the documented workflow follows SIP calls, correlates RTP streams, and writes per-call PCAP files; these are descriptions in the manual, not independently verified runtime tests.
