A lot of things. pktz tells you exactly who, how much, and to where — in real time. Built on eBPF, so it hooks straight into the kernel. No polling /proc . No sampling. Every byte, every process, no excuses. --- Install Download a pre-built binary (no Go required): Or with Go (fetches + compiles in one shot): The eBPF objects are pre-compiled and bundled in the module, so no clang or bpftool needed. Or build from source (if you want to hack on it): Usage Needs root to load eBPF programs and read /proc/ /fd/ for all processes — same deal as sudo iotop , sudo tcpdump , etc. If you really hate typing sudo, you can grant capabilities once: Fair warning though: in this mode pktz will see fewer processes than with sudo — it won't be able to inspect fd dirs of processes owned by root or other users, so their connections won't show up in the detail view. For full visibility, sudo is the way. --- What you actually get Process list — every process doing network I/O, with live RX/TX rates and totals. Sorted by name by default, but you can sort by anything. Connection drill-down — hit Enter on any process. See every single open connection, its state, rates, remote address. Hit Esc to go back. Live graph — 5-minute RX/TX history chart, auto-follows whatever process your cursor is on. Rendered in Unicode block chars, looks goated in a dark terminal. GeoIP flags + ASN — 🇺🇸 CLOUDFLARE, 🇩🇪 HETZNER, 🇷🇺 ???. Optional, see below.
