A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux.

✨ Features:

pleasing to the eye thanks to a nice table-view
filterable (see filter-options below)
interactive killing of processes
from netstat -tulpn to somo -l (almost half the characters, can you believe it?)

⬇️ Installation:

Option 1 - Debian:

If you use a Debian OS go to releases and download the latest .deb release.

Option 2 - From crates.io:

undefinedshell cargo install somo undefined

Most of the time you will want to run this in sudo mode to see all processes and ports. By default, this is not possible when installed via cargo. But you can create a symlink so the binary can be run as root:

undefinedshell sudo ln -s ~/.cargo/bin/somo /usr/local/bin/somo sudo somo # this works now undefined

🏃‍♀️ Running somo:

To run somo just type:

undefinedshell sudo somo undefined

Filtering:

You can use the following flags to filter based on different attributes:

filter flag	description	value
`--proto`	filter by either TCP or UDP	`tcp` or `udp`
`--port, -p`	filter by a local port	port number, e.g `5433`
`--remote-port`	filter by a remote port	port number, e.g `443`
`--ip`	filter by a remote IP	IP address e.g `0.0.0.0`
`--program`	filter by a client program	program name e.g `chrome`
`--pid, -p`	filter by a PID	PID number, e.g `10000`
`--open, -o`	filter by open connections	-
`--listen, -l`	filter by listening connections	-
`--exclude-ipv6`	don’t list IPv6 connections	-
