About:
Somo is a command-line interface tool designed to provide a clear and concise overview of active sockets and listening ports on a system. It presents network connection data in a human-readable format, making it easier to identify processes and their associated network activity. This tool serves as a modern, user-friendly alternative to traditional utilities like netstat.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of sockets and ports
  • Human-friendly, colorized output
  • Filtering by process name or port number
  • Support for both TCP and UDP protocols
Use Cases:
  • Debugging application network connectivity issues
  • Identifying which processes are listening on specific ports
  • Quickly auditing active network connections on a server
Alternatives:
  • netstat – Somo offers a more modern interface and easier-to-read output compared to the classic netstat utility.
  • lsof – While lsof is more versatile for general file descriptor inspection, somo is specialized and more intuitive for network monitoring.
