Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

Synapsis: a carnivore client

The latest piece I did in collaboration with ugn. I always wanted to build a client for carnivore, developed by rsg. Well, here it is! source and desktop client all included. The live example is looking at all network traffic into and behind ugn.jp and retransmits the packet movement data to the web through flashcom. The recorded session is a 1 hour recording of wireless network traffic I did back in San Diego this year. you can view it over here: http://www.marumushi.com/apps/synapsis/ or mirrored over here http://ugn.jp/synapsis/ enjoy:)

synapsis

Synapsis is an application that partially visualizes network traffic. It is the uppermost layer for Carnivore, a network surveillance tool. Carnivore is an application that listens to all data traffic in a network (email, web surfing, etc.). Data travels on the Internet between two computers in packets. The Synapsis client visualizes the actual packets flowing on the network and partially reveals the network topology, at the same time that utlizies that input to generate a unique sound ambience.
