Passive client bandwidth monitering tools
2008-12-23, 3:16 PM #1
Ok, I'm stuck in a coffee shop using public wifi. I'm pretty sure some jerk is torrenting and ruining the connection for all of us. Astoundingly, the place using a wrt54g with a default router config. password. If I knew who it was I could handily kick them off, but I have no way of telling with out using a bandwidth monitor. Anyway, that gave me an idea; is there some kind of passive network bandwidth monitoring software for a client? Specifically, something that gives up/down bandwidth stats for the each client on the client table. I'm about to head out so I'm not going to fuss with it now, but it sounds like a really useful thing to have.

There's nothing bad about wanting some douche to stop leeching all the bandwidth.

Etherape or Lanmap\

Edit: I know this because I've spent a lot of time procrastinating in coffee shops and end up more interested in who else is on the network than doing anything productive with it. :p
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I would suggest telling the owner of the coffee shop, but since you have said they are using default configuration including password, I will assume that the owners probably will have no idea how to rectify the problem.
