About

EtherApe is a graphical network monitor for Unix systems, modeled after Etherman, that displays network activity graphically, with hosts and links changing in size based on traffic volume and color-coded protocols. It supports various devices, including FDDI, ISDN, PPP, SLIP, and WLAN, as well as several encapsulation formats. Users can filter displayed traffic and capture data live from the network or read from a file. Node statistics can be exported for further analysis. The tool offers link layer, IP, and TCP modes, allowing users to focus on specific protocol stack levels. It provides detailed information on each node and link, including protocol breakdown and traffic statistics. EtherApe is open source software released under the GNU General Public License. A single node can be centered on the display and several user-chosen nodes can be arranged in an inner circle with other nodes around. An alternative display mode arranges nodes in "columns".

About

VisualEther turns Wireshark packet captures (PCAP/PCAPNG) into readable sequence diagrams — and lets AI coding agents like Claude Code explain, in plain English, why a network session failed. Wireshark shows every packet but not the conversation. VisualEther draws it directly from the capture — frame-accurate and reproducible — using 82+ built-in protocol templates spanning 5G NR, 5G core, LTE, IMS/VoLTE, SIP/RTP, BGP, OSPF, DNS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, TLS, Kerberos, Diameter, GTP, and industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP). A built-in MCP server extracts only the messages and fields that matter, so an AI agent reads kilobytes of structured data instead of megabytes of raw packets — then runs an author-debug-verify loop, citing frame numbers as evidence. Built on tshark: anything Wireshark can dissect, VisualEther can diagram. See, Triage, Diagnose, Automate. Windows (winget), macOS (Homebrew), Linux (apt/dnf). Free Community edition; paid Professional and Server editions
