Carnivore

Carnivore is a surveillance tool for data networks. It is a piece of open source software (ok, free software; quiet down back there Richard Stallman) that allows you to map network traffic between machines.

That’s nice, but there’s more to the internet than machines passing data to each other — there are people out there. And there are treasures. And beasts. How do you map all of that? And much like the bottom of the sea, I suspect that much of it remains unexplored. Which leads me onto an idea I’m having for my project this year…
