Description

Naksha is a Visual Packet Analyzer, and Sniffer, which provides multiple visual approaches for real-time packet analysis in a geographical domain which utilizes WebSockets and long-polling based protocols in LeafletJS. It inhibits a global map which is populated by Targets, visited by a home network, these targets are connected by a 'link' whose stroke-width is determined by the packet-length. Links are animated to be approaching at different speeds proportional to their propagation latency and congestion loads. They are also animated to subtly gain translucency as they approach their Time-to-live. These packet links also show the direction of the packet (i.e outgoing, or incoming packets) and they can be classified by colour to display categorical attributes like protocol. The WebSocket based server is loop-backed to the home network to provide for robust and rapid deployment. 2024 IEEE.
