Simple network packet sniffer, inspired by tcpdump

Linux distributions that works with apt (Linux cli for package management). I have been tested the packet sniffer on Ubuntu 22.04

A working network interface.

Install net-tools:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y net-tools make

Clone my project:

git clone https://github.com/DanielKirshner/PacketSniffer

Navigate to the project folder:

cd ./PacketSniffer

Run:

make

Now you will have the packet_sniffer program inside bin folder.

Identify your network interface name by:

ifconfig -a

Run the packet sniffer with administrative privileges:

sudo ./bin/packet_sniffer.o [INTERFACE_NAME]
