Description: I see what you see. That could be the moto of driftnet, a tool that allows you to see what other people in you network browse in real-time.
Driftnet is a program which listens to network traffic and picks out images from TCP streams it observes. Fun to run on a host which sees lots of web traffic.
In an experimental enhancement, driftnet now picks out MPEG audio streams from network traffic and tries to play them. You can also now use driftnet with Jamie Zawinski's webcollage, so that it can run as a screen saver.
(Obviously, driftnet is an invasion of privacy of a fairly blatant sort. Also, if you are possessed of Victorian sensibilities, and share an unswitched network with others who are not, you should probably not use it. If you're looking for a less dubious network monitoring application, you might want to take a look at Paul Warren's iftop.)

driftnet is really an interesting tool. I am going to try it.
