A modern replacement for iftop

Project description

Bandwidth Ninja (bwninja)

A modern replacement for iftop

Why?

  • Colors!
  • More easily readable UI
  • Can track all interfaces
  • Less overhead (uses eBPF to collect metrics, and does not need to copy and process packets in userspace)

Install

pip install bwninja

bcc

bwninja requires python3-bpfcc which does not seem to have a correct package in pip/pypi.

See the official install documentation here: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Run

bwninja requires root access to the network interfaces.

bwninja # bwninja will try to escalate itself.

python -m bwninja.tui # same. if bin script was not installed

sudo bwninja # will work only if bwninja was installed as a system package
