Changes

  • Packaged for more distros, RPM, Debian and FreeBSD
  • Tested on FreeBSD
  • Batch mode output added, used for parsing by scripts for example
  • Support for tun-devices by supporting the NULL Data Link Type
  • Reworked the calculation of packet size to use the length from ip header instead of adding all the pieces together manually
  • Had a couple of more experienced C coders skim the code for me

Note on FreeBSD package

I'm providing the package I made but it must be said that I never got it to work following the FreeBSD docs. After a day of mucking about with their docs and their tools I finally gave up. The tool can easily be built on FreeBSD and that is enough for me.

The original snifstat was written for FreeBSD 10 years ago, which is why I wanted a FreeBSD package for nostalgic reasons. But their docs are very hard to follow compared to how easy it was to build RPM and Deb packages.
