tcpdumpy is a powerful Python-based network monitoring tool that provides detailed insights into network connections and packet interactions. Whether you're a network administrator, security researcher, or curious developer, tcpdumpy offers comprehensive network traffic analysis with flexible filtering options.

• 🔍 Detailed network connection monitoring
• 🔬 Payload capture and display
• 🚧 Flexible filtering options
• 📊 Comprehensive connection status tracking
• 🌍 IP and port information
• 🚨 TCP flag interpretation

• Python 3.x
• tcpdump installed on your system
• Root/sudo privileges (for packet capture)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/tcpdumpy.git
   cd tcpdumpy

2. Ensure you have the required permissions:

   sudo chmod +x tcpdumpy.py

sudo python3 tcpdumpy.py

• -l, --localhost: Show localhost-to-localhost connections
• --status: Filter by connection status (e.g., 'Connection Attempt')
• --flags: Filter by TCP flags (e.g., 'S,.')
• --port: Filter by specific port
• --no-payload: Disable payload display

1. Monitor all connections:

   sudo python3 tcpdumpy.py

2. Show localhost connections:

   sudo python3 tcpdumpy.py -l

3. Filter by connection status:

   sudo python3 tcpdumpy.py --status "Connection Attempt"

4. Filter by TCP flags:

   sudo python3 tcpdumpy.py --flags "S,."

This tool requires root/sudo privileges due to network packet capture limitations. Always use with caution and ensure you have appropriate permissions.
