Products that do what Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark does
Hi all, I'm excited to announce Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark that lets you capture and analyze process activity (system calls) and log messages in the same way that Wireshark lets you capture and analyze network packets. If you would like to try it out you can download installers for Windows and macOS and source code for all platforms at https://stratoshark.org. AMA: I'm the goofball whose name is at the top of the "About" box in both applications, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Hi hackers! I'm a self-taught solo teenage dev ever wanted to show what you're doing right now on the internet? well I've been wanting to for a while, so I built Lynk, a lightweight macOS app that tracks your active apps, window titles, and daily usage in real time, and broadcasts that data over WebSockets. Oh and it also updates whenever you switch apps to connected clients! No SDKs, no APIs — just local tracking + a websocket endpoint you can ping from any language.

Wiregasm lets you build applications that can leverage Wireshark's packet dissection capabilities in a web browser or nodejs. The project is in its infancy, the goal is to make most of sharkd APIs available in Wiregasm. The bindings at the moment are not perfect as I'm still trying to familiarize myself with Emscripten. It is part of a bigger hobby project that my wife and I are working on, to make some of the development and security tools that we use available in a web browser.

I made a thing this afternoon. If you are using windows 10 and would like to open windows apps from the ubuntu bash shell normally you can't do that. I wrote this app to (sorta) let you do that. It's a two part app, first is a dotnet core webapi C# app that runs on your windows box. Next is a shell script that you put in your path on the ubuntu shell. It's called Rockhopper (named after a species of penguin, since you are hopping form Linux to windows with this app is just seemed like the right name :) ), and you invoke it like this: rockhopper -c code -a…

When building Hookie, I worked with NATS Jetstream a lot. While you can do everything using the CLI, I prefer the feeling of a nice GUI better. So I built one.

Hi HN! I built RustNet, a Terminal UI based network monitor written in Rust that shows real-time connections with process identification and protocol detection. What may make it interesting: • Deep packet inspection for HTTP, HTTPS/TLS (with SNI), DNS, and QUIC protocol detection • Process identification using eBPF on Linux (experimental) and PKTAP on macOS which does also catch short-lived processes that polling procfs or lsof would miss • Multi-threaded packet processing with lock-free data structures for the UI • Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows but process identification so far…

Hi HN, I'm Robel. I built LogClaw because I was tired of paying for Datadog and still waking up to pages that said "something is wrong" with no context. LogClaw is an open-source log intelligence platform that runs on Kubernetes. It ingests logs via OpenTelemetry and detects anomalies using signal-based composite scoring — not simple threshold alerting. The system extracts 8 failure-type signals (OOM, crashes, resource exhaustion, dependency failures, DB deadlocks, timeouts, connection errors, auth failures), combines them with statistical z-score analysis, blast radius, error velocity, and…

I've been working on this for a few months since I got my Surface RT, and realized there wasn't a solid gtalk/gchat app. It's a C#/XAML app, and I ended up writing my own XMPP stack on-top of raw sockets since there wasn't a good open source one available (that would run in RT). I'll open source my XMPP library on GitHub shortly once I've cleaned it up a bit. Check it out!

I built an open-source desktop app for running and monitoring Python agents that talk over TCP. It works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The basic idea is simple: if a repo has an `agent.py` entrypoint, the app can import it from GitHub, install `requirements.txt` if needed, connect it to a TCP server, and show what it is doing in one UI. Current features: * import agent repos from GitHub, including private repos * run agents through `agent.py` * optional `requirements.txt` support * optional `id.json` for agent metadata * connect agents to TCP servers * inspect message flow in one place *…

I spent a long time working in the payments industry, specifically on a rather niche reporting/aggregation platform with spiky workloads that were not easily parallelized. To pump as much data through our pipeline as possible, we had to rely on complex locking schemes across half a dozen or so not-so-micro services - keeping a clear mental picture of how the services interacted for a given data source was a major headache. This problem always intrigued me, even after I no longer worked at the company, and lead to the development of Wool. If you've worked with frameworks like Ray or…

Here's the latest eBPF performance tool of mine - xstack. It's a minimal tool, just 165 lines of eBPF C and under 500 lines of userland C code (including all comments and boilerplate!). It uses the libbpf and (Rust) BlazeSym libraries though (which are a lot of code). The point (and difference) of this tool is that it can sample both the kernel and userspace stack traces of all threads in your system. Traditionally, the "bpf_get_stack()" helper can not read userspace stack traces of other tasks in Linux, but since Linux 5.18 we can combine sleepable eBPF task iterator programs with a new…

Hello I'm Jack, I was previously a Site Reliability Engineer and i've been working on monitro.dev which makes log monitoring simple for individuals or small teams. It allows you to easily forward any logs to multiple channels such as Slack, Discord & Telegram. The events are also viewable though the admin dashboard and are easily filterable. Currently there is only an NPM package with javascript / typescript support but i have plans to expand this to other languages such as Python, Rust etc. The package has many options, one of them is forwarding any uncaught exception and as an event…
