Port80 is a visual packet sniffer.

It represents all packet information to an ethernet device as dots, lines, or polygons.

4 byte chunks are used to generate x,y coordinates and color values. The graphics are updated whenever a packet is received.

Built in one night for a Net Art Seminar in Linux using:
OpenGL, Glut, and the Berkely Sockets API.
