The program promiscuously sniffs and decodes any JPEG downloaded by anyone on your LAN, displaying it in an attractive, ever changing mosaic of fluffy kittens, oversized navigation buttons, and blurred images of Big Brother Elizabeth fiddling. It&#8217;s UNIX only. Your sysadmin is undoubtedly running it already.<\/p>\n<p>Driftnet is in a rather early stage of development. Translation: you may not be able to make it compile, and, if you do, it probably won&#8217;t run quite right. To stand a chance of compiling it, you will need libpcap, GTK, libgif\/libungif and libjpeg. If you want to play music, you need mpg123 or mpg321 or whatever. So far, driftnet has only been tested &#8212; I use the term in its loosest sense &#8212; on Linux and Solaris.
