About:
Sniffglue is a secure, multithreaded network packet sniffer designed to capture and analyze traffic efficiently. It parses protocols in a sandboxed environment to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities from malicious packets. The tool provides detailed insights into network activity, making it a robust alternative to traditional sniffers.
Key Features:
  • Multithreaded architecture for high performance
  • Sandboxed protocol parsing for enhanced security
  • Structured output (JSON) for easy parsing
  • Zero-copy packet capture using AF_PACKET
Use Cases:
  • Network troubleshooting and diagnostics
  • Security auditing and traffic analysis
  • Real-time monitoring of network interfaces
Alternatives:
  • tcpdump – Sniffglue offers a more modern, secure architecture and structured output, whereas tcpdump is the industry standard with broader legacy support.
  • Wireshark – Sniffglue is a lightweight CLI tool focused on speed and security, while Wireshark provides a comprehensive GUI for deep packet inspection.
