Free traffic monitor software for linux

IP Traffic Meter is a traffic counter for IPv4 addresses. It uses the DB4 database from Berkeley to keep its counters, the pcap library for monitoring, and the gd library from Boutel to create graphics. The results are displayed in JPEG graphics on an HTML webpage.
Enhancements:
- With ipmeter you can monitor the traffic made by some IPs. It produces daily, weekly, monthly and yearly statistics into jpg graphics. It uses db4 database from Berkeley to keep its internal counters, and gd library from Boutell to create jpg graphic.

Camera Monitor is a little tray system icon that notifies you when your Webcam is on. The project is designed for the GNOME desktop, but will work as well on KDE and XFCE.
Camera Monitor is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Installation:
tar xzf laptoptemp-0.2.tar.gz
cd cameramonitor-0.1
./configure
sudo make install
Enhancements:
- Added support for libnotify
- Ported to new gtk.StatusIcon
- Updated preferences panel
- Updated about information
- Removed notification on bad previous exit
- Added option to preferences for autostarting cameramonitor every session

FTP Monitor is a simple panel applet, which monitors incoming connections to ftpd(vsftpd/ncftpd/pure-ftpd/proftpd) and generates passive popups.
For pure-ftpd, ncftpd, proftpd it acts as a frontend to pure-ftpwho, ncftpd_spy and ftpwho respectively. For vsftpd, it looks in output of ps -fe.
Enhancements:
- Update the change in ftp daemon (or path) withour requiring a restart
- Fixed the bug (introduced in 0.70) that FTP status will not update
- For large panels, the icon is now centered

Air Traffic Controller project is an air traffic controller simulation.

Airtraffic is a game/simulator that puts you into an air traffic controllers hotseat. Planes come into your airspace from various directions and you have to guide them safely to their destinations. It uses Python, Corba, and GTK.

bandwidth monitor is a small application which polls /proc/net/dev for the byte counts for a given network device , and calculates the RX and TX bandwidths. Originally a shell script, then a Perl script, now rewritten in C so that it can easily be used on embedded devices like the Linksys WRT54G as well as.

This program started as a shell script that I ran on my home-brew firewall wireless router (Linux, of course, on a 486/66) to keep track of my incoming and outgoing bandwidth. This let me know that I was getting the bandwidth that I paid for, and it also helped me keep an eye on the throttling of bulk traffic so that I didnt choke out my interactive sessions. Of course, that was before I had QOS.

The program is probably tied to Linux, since it grabs the byte counts for the requested interface right from /proc/net/dev. It could pretty easily be modified to grab the same information from the output of /sbin/ifconfig, but that would waste resources to spawn a new process to parse the /proc/net/dev file and regurgitate it to us. Also, I havent bothered to look at how uniform the output of the byte counts from /sbin/ifconfig is on other operating systems.

As a side note, the C version also uses nanosleep() and gettimeofday() to get more accurate polling intervals and track the overall time (since sleep(), usleep(), nanosleep(), et. al. only guaruntee to wait at least as long as you request, but do not guaruntee that it wont be possibly much longer...) So, if you were interested in porting it, youd have to make sure that nanosleep() and gettimeofday() were also available, or lose the resolution of the time used in bandwidth calculations.

Server Monitor is a theme which displays the status of your servers. Also you can start / stop them by clicking the names.

You cann add servers by editing the py-file. You may resize theme in the .theme-fille.

httpMonitor is a Python program which lets you monitor the HTTP traffic between a browser and a Web server. You configure your browser to use httpMonitor as its proxy to ensure that all HTTP traffic between browser and server goes via httpMonitor. In a
XML-configuration file you can specify python-functions as processors for the HTTP-messages you are interested in (requests or responses, which match certain criteria). You may have as many processors as you want, without modifying the actual program.

The package comes with three sample processors. One for logging header-information of the HTTP messages (httpMonitor.filters.logger), one for modifying header fields (httpMonitor.filters.headermodifier) and a third one for accessing (and modifiying) parsed html-text. The processors can be configured to tell them exactly what to log or what to modify.The only thing you have to do, is to configure the httpMonitor and write your processors.

Although the current version is 0.2 it works nice already, it just has not been tested extensively. I may also add a few more processors and/or other features in the final release.

vSMP Monitor is the SuperKaramba theme that i have been modifying with time and finally decided to post it.

It is a melting pot of many other themes which i have mentioned in the theme file. Hope you like it.
