Title: I built a AI Network Monitor to track where my data is actually going 🚀
Have you ever wondered what’s happening in the background of your computer? I wanted a lightweight way to see my active network connections without installing heavy third-party software—so I built my own tool in Python. This started after an interview with this AI on this site, my antivirus was getting alerted but I thought this was normal but then random windows started to pop up. And the interview ended way too fast. What it does: Real-time Monitoring: It scans active network connections and identifies the processes behind them. Private IP Lookups: I integrated the ipapi.co API over HTTPS to identify the owners/organizations of external IP addresses. Smart Logging: It keeps a clean history and flags specific connections into a local CSV file for later review. The Tech Stack: Python: The core logic. Psutil: For grabbing system-level network information. Requests: To handle the API with virutotal initially and then Mistral the LLM. You put your own APIs This project was a great lesson
