neoss: A Modern Way to Socket Statistics

Hello fellow developers and tech enthusiasts!

Today, I’m excited to introduce a game-changing tool that’s set to revolutionize the way we handle socket statistics: neoss. Designed as a more intuitive and feature-rich alternative to the traditional 'ss' command, neoss is here to make your life easier.

Why neoss?

We've all been there, trying to make sense of the raw output from the ss command. That’s where neoss steps in. It provides a clear, user-friendly Terminal User Interface to list active TCP and UDP sockets along with their comprehensive statistics. This means you get all the crucial data in a format that's easy to understand and navigate.

Key Features of neoss

  • User-Friendly Interface: With neoss, you can easily sort, refresh, and navigate through socket statistics without getting lost in a sea of text.

  • Rich Information Set: Get detailed explanations about protocols, connection states, queue meanings, and much more.

  • Enhanced Data Insights: Dive into domain name resolutions, Whois data for domains and IPs, and get detailed user information including names, owners, PIDs, and command lines.

  • Sort and Refresh: Effortlessly sort data and refresh statistics to stay updated with the latest information.

Getting Started with neoss

Installing neoss is a breeze. Simply run npm install -g neoss, and you're ready to go! Launch it with a single command: neoss, and explore its robust features.

  • Exiting the Tool: Use 'Esc', 'q', or 'Ctrl+c'.

  • Refreshing Data: Press 'r' to refresh statistics.

  • Sorting Data: Hit 's' to sort data based on the selected column.

  • Detailed Information: Press 'Enter' to toggle detailed information for the selected cell.

You can check neoss on GitHub for more information.

Conclusion

neoss is here to redefine how we interact with socket statistics. It’s powerful, user-friendly, and open-source. So, whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, give neoss a try and experience a fresh perspective on socket statistics!
