Could you build this?
Partial A local dashboard UI for traffic visualization is easily vibe-coded, but real-time cross-platform packet inspection and process-to-socket attribution require OS-level networking hooks.
What it would actually take: Requires a native agent (written in Go, Rust, or C) utilizing OS packet filtering APIs (such as eBPF on Linux, NetworkExtension on macOS, or WinDivert/ETW on Windows) paired with a local web UI or Tauri desktop app. The hard part is correlating raw network packets/sockets with specific process IDs and application names in real-time with minimal CPU overhead. Requires low-level operating system network programming knowledge.
