How to Install Bicimon on NetBSD

Bicimon is a network traffic visualizer written in Python. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bicimon on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Installation

  1. First, we need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and type the following command:

    pkgin install py38-pip graphviz
    
  2. Once the installation is complete, use pip to install the required Python packages. Type the following command:

    pip install bicimon
    
  3. That's it! You have successfully installed Bicimon on your NetBSD system.

Running Bicimon

  1. To use Bicimon, go to the directory where you have your network traffic captured file. For example, if you have a file called "traffic.pcapng" in the "Downloads" directory, type the following command:

    cd Downloads
    
  2. Then, use the following command to run Bicimon:

    bicimon traffic.pcapng -o output.png
    

    This will generate an output PNG file with the network traffic visualized.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and used Bicimon on your NetBSD system.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
