Shorenet Inspector
A desktop traffic viewer for the programs you launch through it: HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 and WebSocket, decrypted and parsed live.
What is captured
What Inspector captures differs between Linux and Windows, and the detail will be here, measured against the program, when there is something to download.
How it decrypts
Inspector asks the launched program's own TLS library to export its session keys, using standard settings such as SSLKEYLOGFILE and Node's --tls-keylog.
Download
Not yet available.
Signed Linux and Windows packages will be published here.
Compatibility

A measured table of the runtimes and tools Inspector decrypts, and those it cannot, with the reason for each, will be published here.

Questions
- Is there a privileged component?
-
Linux: usually none. Some distributions need a small helper, and Inspector explains it before you install one.
Windows: a small service, installed once with one administrator prompt.
- Can I see the source code?
No. Inspector is closed source.
Questions about what Inspector sends us, what a problem report contains and how long anything is kept are not answered here yet. They were written against a design rather than against the finished program, and they will be back, checked against it, when there is something to download.
