kandi X-RAY | iftop Summary

iftop is a Shell library. iftop has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

README for iftop $Id: README,v 1.8 2003/06/06 22:42:34 pdw Exp $. Read the INSTALL file, manual page and source code for more information. iftop must be run as root. There is a bug in the version of ncurses distibuted with RedHat 7.2 that will cause iftop to segfault. The RPM in RedHat's Rawhide distribution fixes this. You may need to upgrade your libpcap (by updating the tcpdump package) in order to compile iftop. This version of FreeBSD lacks a proper gethostbyaddr_r function. You should choose an alternative name resolution technique using the --with-resolver=... option to configure. On Solaris, iftop has to run in promiscuous mode in order to capture outgoing packets. iftop autoconfigures to run in promiscuous mode on Solaris, but will filter out non-broadcast packets which are not addressed to or from localhost. On Solaris, the -p option merely disables that filter. If you have some other sort of system that behaves like Solaris in needing promiscuous mode, you can pass --enable-default-promiscuous to configure to enable this behavior. The version of curses distributed with Solaris may not be sufficient for iftop's needs. You will probably need ncurses or similar.

            QUESTION

            Is there any way of detecting if a particular browser extension is communicating with a server?
            Asked 2020-Jan-06 at 18:43

            Sometimes when we install browser extensions on Chrome or Firefox we see many warnings about different permissions that those extensions are using... I know I can monitor all the traffic that happens on my computer in different ways like:

            1. Installing a command-line tool like iftop that can monitor the traffic on my computer (on Linux)
            2. Installing a tool like Wireshark and also monitor the traffic happening on my computer
            3. Check the browser Network functionality when we open its Console

            However, all these options are going to monitor the entire traffic of my computer or browser... I'd like to monitor the traffic of a browser extension to see if it's communicating with a server. But it gets very hard to distinguish if a particular traffic is coming from a web extension or not using the tools that I've mentioned... Is there any way of detecting just the traffic of the web extension that I've selected? My first guess would be something like a command that I can use on the browser console to monitor the extension... Is there such a thing?

            I see a lot of trust issues when a browser extension asks for a lot of permissions. I think it'd be a lot easier to handle this if I could monitor specific web extensions traffic during the day and check if it's communicating with a server or not... Let's say there's a web extension asking the following permissions:

            ...

            Google Chrome extensions use 2 types of files. One type works in the browser just like normal JavaScript. This files activity is logged the same way website activity is logged in your browser. Press F12 and you can track it. Then there are background files, which also get logged. Right click the extension in question then click manage extension and then click backgroundpage. This looks the same as if you are pressing F12 in your browser, but this one logs everything the extension does in the background. In your case just look in the network tab.

            Another way to determine this is to download the source of an extension. The way I do this for Chrome is by installing chrome extension source viewer, now you can dig through the source code to see where certain calls get made.
