Engine: Godot
Language: GDScript

VRshark is an application for visualizing network traffic in 3D, written in the Godot game engine using mainly GDScript.

Wireshark already exist as a popular open-source application for reading PCAP-files or even live traffic by listening to interfaces on the host. Wireshark supports many protocols and you can analyze packets in detail.

So why analyze the packets in 3D/VR? The visual representation of traffic flow adds another dimension to trouble-shooting and anomaly detection by network administrators. It can also be used in an educational setting, enhancing the learning experience when it comes to protocols and routing on the Internet.
