NAME
       driftnet - capture images from network traffic and display them in an X
       window; optionally, capture audio streams and play them.

SYNOPSIS
       driftnet [options] [filter code]

DESCRIPTION
       Driftnet watches network traffic, and picks out and displays  JPEG  and
       GIF  images  for	 display.  It  is  an horrific invasion of privacy and
       shouldn't be used by anyone anywhere.  It  has  been  described	as  `a
       graphical  tcpdump(8)',	`EtherPeg  for	Unix', and called all sorts of
       nasty names by people on Freshmeat. It is also possible to use driftnet
       to  capture  MPEG  audio	 data  from  the network and play it through a
       player such as mpg123(1).

       Images may be saved by clicking on them.

OPTIONS
       -h     Print a summary of usage.

       -v     Print additional details of packets captured to the terminal.

       -b     Beep when a new image is displayed.

       -i interface
	      Listen to packets on interface. By default, driftnet will try to
	      pick  up	traffic on all interfaces, but this does not work with
	      all versions of pcap(3); on such systems, an interface  must  be
	      specified.  On  some  systems, driftnet can only use promiscuous
	      mode if an interface is specified.

       -f file
	      Instead of listening on an interface, read captured packets from
	      a	 pcap(3);  dump	 file;	file  can be a named pipe for use with
	      Kismet or similar.

       -p     Do not put the interface into promiscuous mode.

       -a     Operate in `adjunct mode', where driftnet gathers images for use
	      by another program, such as Jamie Zawinski's webcollage. In this
	      mode, no window is displayed; images are captured and saved in a
	      temporary directory, and their names written on standard output.

       -m number
	      In  adjunct  mode,  silently  drop images if there are more than
	      number in the temporary directory. It is	assumed	 that  another
	      process will delete images which it has processed.

       -x prefix
	      The  filename  prefix  to	 use  when  saving  images, by default
	      `driftnet-'.

       -d directory
	      Use directory to store temporary files. Driftnet will clear this
	      directory	 of  its  own  temporary  files	 on exit, but will not
	      delete the directory or any other files.

       -s     Attempt to capture streamed audio data  from  the	 network,  and
	      either play it or, in adjunct mode, save it in files. At present
	      this only works with MPEG data.

       -S     Capture streamed audio data only, ignoring images.

       -M command
	      Use the named command to play  MPEG  audio  data.	 The  command,
	      which  is executed using the shell, should accept MPEG frames on
	      standard input.  The default is `mpg123 -'.

       filter code
	      Additional filter code to restrict the packets captured, in  the
	      libpcap  syntax. User filter code is evaluated as `tcp and (fil‐
	      ter code)'.
