# sniff
> A packet-collating, logging and simple packet sniffer, written in Rust

Protocol to filter (note that this is either TCP, UDP, or ICMP, not application layer protocols)
Options:
-v, --verbose
Verbose mode - prints MAC addresses
-l, --log-file
Path to the log file, if not provided, the program will not log
-X, --exclude-ips
Exclude IP addresses from the output
-x, --exclude-macs
Exclude MAC addresses from the output
-F, --filter-ips
Filter IP addresses
-f, --filter-macs
Filter MAC addresses
-I, --highlight-ips

-L, --load-from-file

-r, --real-time-playback
Real-time playback from the log file
-h, --help

```
Note: The program must be run as root to access the network interface.
## Notes
- `sniff` only supports IPv4 packets, but should be OS-agnostic.
- `libpnet` should be installed to run a pre-compiled executable, along with `libpnet-dev` for compiling said executable.
