Hi, how can I filter traffic if an internet proxy is in the way, making all destination IPs the same? i guess i could use tcp sequence number if stream has one... I Love your content
In the initial connection to the proxy there will be a CONNECT message from the client with the target URL. This way you can tell which stream to filter on
This is an AMAZING video - thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the demonstration!
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot. Super easy to implement and great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
brillant do you have a VPN you trust?
Great explanation! When the server doesn't contain a certificate request, I suppose the client doesn't send a certificate because of this.
Exactly. The client will only send if it’s asked for it
U r the best brother
Very great content. And very useful. You make it easy to understand. Thank you!!

Hey, I really enjoyed your video on monitoring ISP performance to hold them accountable for the service we're paying for. You made some solid points, but I wanted to add something I think a lot of people overlook-especially when it comes to home internet service. Most residential internet users don’t realize that what they're paying for is a shared connection. In the U.S., most home internet plans operate on shared infrastructure, meaning your bandwidth is pooled with your neighbors. This is why you can see fluctuations in speed during peak hours. It’s not necessarily that your ISP is dropping the ball, but rather that you're sharing the connection with others. Now, when you compare that to business-class services, there's a huge difference. Business-class internet can offer dedicated bandwidth, so you're not sharing with anyone else, ensuring more consistent speeds. But that's not the only reason businesses pay more. With a business service, you're also paying for better latency and something home users rarely get-Service Level Agreements (SLAs). These agreements guarantee quicker response times and prioritized repairs, which are critical for businesses that can’t afford downtime. Home users often focus purely on download speeds, but latency is a key factor too. Business-class services aim for lower latency because every millisecond counts when you're running critical operations. Most home users don’t think about this because they’re primarily streaming or gaming, where latency isn’t as noticeable unless it spikes. So, while tools for monitoring ISP performance are helpful, it’s important to set expectations realistically for residential connections. Shared connections come with inherent fluctuations, and home users won’t get the same level of service guarantees as business customers. Just something to keep in mind when monitoring performance! Thanks again for the great content-keep up the awesome work!
I'd really like to use this, but have so far been unable to deploy it successfully to Portainer. Any chance support for that might be coming?
There’s some discussion on GitHub about it with other users of portainer

Boas notícias como sempre. Eu abandonei o LOL a um bom tempo agora que não roda mais no Linux, nem me faz falta. Quero ver se o RT patch vem mesmo. Grande abraço!
Good video. It is very useful to understand how to check the packet loss. good work keep it up !!!! 👏👏👏🙏
great work ! how the data processed by netprobe is send to prometheus to be displayed on grafana ? would love to run several netprobe to one grafana
Prometheus is just a data source co figured in grafana- you can add more data sources
Awesome explanation and simulation
Hi, I have got netprobe up and running using docker compose. I have accessed the directories and files but dont seem to be able to find the .env dile, any ideas?????
Are you running it in Linux? It may be hidden if so, try “ls -l” to see it
@@plaintextpackets .env file doesnt seem ot be present after using the docker compose up but I do have data but unconfigured and no speedtest
The .env file will be in the folder with the rest of the source code. If you look at GitHub you’ll see it. And the fact that the tool runs means it’s there
Lovely tool, thank you , is there a way we can change the website address or dns after installation .
Yes you can edit the configuration file to change those
Hello. Can we extract certificate from the TLSv1.3??
Unfortunately no
Thank you for the information.
love your work man!
hey man came across your content and loving it its filling in some blanks that I have…….quick question are there any work arounds when ISP uses CGNAT…….I hate not having my own public ip……but understand ISP business incentive and IPv4 issues they face
Hi there! Do you mean you want a public IP of your own instead of using the cgnat?
@@plaintextpackets because im only just self learning about CGNAT even though I see its been around for a while ive only just realised mainly in my online gaming…..some games ping atrocious and the odd game its like ive never seem before…..I was just wondering if there is a work around but ive read enough to know there isnt unless paying for it
good explanation easy to understand for newbies
I cannot get Docker Desktop to work on a either a Server 2022 or Windows 11 system that is running as a VM on VMware ESX. I get an error about WSL that reads, "WSL2 is not supported with your current machine configuration." Does anyone know if Docker won't run an a VM? I read somewhere that it requires the Enterprise version of Docker (not the free version). Is there any option to run this without Docker?
You can but it’s a lot more difficult as you have to install some components manually from source (grafana, Prometheus). Can you spin up a Linux VM?
@@plaintextpackets Thanks for the reply. Sure, I'll give Linux a try. My preference is to use Windows (since that's what I know best) but if it's easier for Docker I can get a flavor of Linux running. What flavor of Linux do you think would work best for this. I'm thinking Ubuntu. Is that a good choice?
@DamonDawson Ubuntu would work well
@@plaintextpackets Thank you for all the help.
Learnt something new today, thank you ❤
так а где TCP SYN Flood то
Do you have to be on the same network to listen?
You need to take a capture of the traffic, there are methods to do this like ARP poisoning which do require you to be on the same network

Hi, I just installed your software in a Windows docker container. Few questions, is there a copy of the live source code within Docker or are the LIVE files within the same folder I unzipped the original download? So for instance, I downloaded the code to "Downloads" folder I have to enter my DNS IP in the env file within that folder or is a live copy within Docker that I should modify instead? Also, under the DNS category of the Dashboard I dont see the DNS IP I entered reflected anywhere. Lastly, is there a way to modify my DNS IP from the Dashboard too? thanks for your help!
Hi there, yes you need to modify the file in the source code folder and docker will pick it up when launching. Docker will take that file and load it into the container. If you don’t see the DNS IP under “My DNS Server” ensure you set the ip prior to launching docker. Unfortunately no way of editing the vars from the gui Good luck!
It would be interesting to know if that happens here and whether it would be needed. The shopping centre I visit (groceries) has a rewards card (pretty common). They even push it (cashier *if you can find one* asks you if you have a [insert rewards card name] card. They offer you discounts by the points you collect. i.e. Spend $10, get 10 points. 2000 points = $10 The thing is... By scanning that card (registered with your name and a unique identifier) , they now know who you are, every item you buy. I know this for a fact, because even when I shop online (usually done in person) , my previous purchased (whether online or in person) are in my history and get suggested to me (to make shopping easier *to make me spend more money*) The reason I initially signed up was that a petrol (gas) station gave rewards for fuel . I drove a company vehicle and would go through $40 - $70 / day. That meant I would (just by scanning it) , get free money (at least $10) / month for nothing. I've managed to score over $1000 in rewards (free cash for groceries / free fuel Everything is logged and watched these days. The checkout (self checkout) even has a build in camera to identify what type of thing you are weighing. It can tell if it is a tomato, granny smith apple / banana and brings up that option on the screen when you press "fruit and veg" button. Of course it weighs your bags (to stop shop lifting) and there are probably AI hooked to those cameras above you watching for suspicious activity.
Rookie question but how do I reset my Grafana password? I've tried deleting the containers and volumes for netprobe but for some reason the Grafana password persists
When you delete do “docker compose down -v” and that will delete all volumes as well, which store the persistent configs
Thankyou Sir, you explain the concepts very well!
is this possible to monitor 2 isp's at the same time?
Not with the current version no. You’d need to install it on two different machines or VMs and hone each one to a different ISP
Oh wow u just tap el chapo personal phone...damnnnn 😂
I love your videos, bro. You're helping me a lot of understanding this kind of concepts like VPN.
Happy to hear that!
I always turn Bluetooth OFF as soon as I get near the parking lot. Except for the cameras, your signal basically vanishes. Other than that would be to turn off your phone or leave it locked in the car turned off until you return. Electronic stalking should be Illegal. Stalking is stalking no matter how it's done.
Keep up the great work. Your videos are assisting me in my IT career
Great to hear!
In the past that used to happen a lot. But today most modern phones will randomize that. Even your phone randomizes it's Mac address because of this. It's called Bluetooth address randomization.
It has gotten better as many vendors have employed Bluetooth and wireless Mac randomization, but still not consistently employed. I’m also curious whether they are able to fingerprint devices using other identifiers within the beacon frames
hey, How to capture traffic for a particular URL. Lets say I am pinging any application's IP or running it on my browser. How to capture and get packet loss for that application?
Get the IP of the URL first (in a terminal do “nslookup google.com” as an example) Then apply the capture filter “host x.x.x.x” where x.x.x.x is the IP you found for the website
The question is, why do you use Windows still?!
I use windows and Linux interchangeably. For recording videos Windows is much more user friendly
ok where id wshark role here and how can we see clearly what going on
There are Bluetooth radios you can get for your laptop to sniff Bluetooth packets.
This was so interesting! Thanks for posting
You’re welcome!
Soo I know this might sound crazy and relatively on topic but I am developing a network of a handful of Pi's running Kismet and other beacon monitoring software to create a monitoring perimeter around my property. Of course, granted that would be trespassers are carrying devices trasnmitting beacons. Building upon an idea I saw from Kody on Nullbyte. Could also be used for stalkers..etc. another great video from you! Thank you for the work you put into your content!
I’ve thought about the same for monitoring the devices that come in and out of my home perimeter (and whether I know them or not) - good luck on the project!
I thought the same thing based on 1 of those esp32 videos on nullbyte. Like square the property off with the boards and have them monitoring constantly, and then any mac that isn't whitelisted that has a stronger signal strength on the main unit inside then it does from the perimeter activates the sprinklers/turrets
@@LennyMiller739 You could hook that to a laser perimeter ... i.e. lasers shoot to a LDR which the controller (pi / arduino . If the beam is broken, it sends a signal with laser number broken . You could even combine this with your project to find if it is a known / unknown device with the person.
