Hosts3D is a 3D real-time network visualizer, displaying
hosts and packet traffic. Features include support for
multiple sensors, analysis of packets to gather hostnames
and services, configurable layout of subnetworks,
recording/replaying of packet traffic, and the ability
to filter packets by host, protocol or port.
hsen (Hosts3D Sensor) is a packet capture daemon which
reads and sends packet header information to Hosts3D,
locally or remotely. hsen also equates hostname to IP
by reading DNS packets (UDP type A class IN standard
query response). The relationship between hsen to Hosts3D
can be one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one or many-to-many
(many Hosts3Ds would be on multiple computers on the
same subnet, receiving packet header information
from hsen via broadcast).
