Packet Snout is a hands-on network security platform for home administrators and learners. It combines live TShark packet capture with BPF filters, nmap-based device discovery, a visual firewall rule editor for iptables and netsh, and 10 guided lab exercises from beginner to advanced. Every raw packet operation and firewall change requires explicit permission and writes to an immutable audit log. Redis-backed WebSocket streams real-time traffic data; JWT auth with per-user rate limiting keeps multi-user sessions isolated.
Extended write-up coming soon.
