Introduction Introduction
------------ ------------
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most tools do, it groups bandwidth by process. NetHogs does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. If there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this. This makes it easy to indentify programs that have gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth. NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool.

Since NetHogs heavily relies on /proc, some functionalities are only available on Linux. Since NetHogs heavily relies on `/proc`, some functionalities are only available on Linux.
NetHogs can be built on Mac OS X, but it will only show connections, not processes. NetHogs can be built on Mac OS X, but it will only show connections, not processes.

Nethogs depends on ncurses, so you need to install the ncurses development Nethogs depends on `ncurses`, so you need to install the ncurses development
libraries before building nethogs. For example on Debian, 'apt-get install libraries before building nethogs.
libncurses5-dev'.
After that, simply 'make && sudo make install' #### Debian/Ubuntu
apt-get install libncurses5-dev
After that, simply
make && sudo make install
