Calling all coders...

With the source code of Firestarter here... http://www.fs-security.com/download.php

How easy is it to strip down this application to just a simple application that displays one window....Active connections.

Does anyone have the means to do this?

Thanks.

I'm not a programmer so I can't help you with your request, but I can make a suggestion that might solve your problem. You can install iptraf if you want to monitor active connections (you can also optionally log all connections):

sudo apt-get install iptraf

It doesn't have a graphical interface--you have to run it from the command-line--but it's simple and readable.

You could also monitor traffic with Wireshark or tcpdump.

I found the best tool ever called Netactview.

Netactview is a graphical network (active) connections viewer for Linux, similar in functionality with Netstat (OR TCPView). It includes features like process information, host name retrieval, automatic refresh and sorting. It has a fully featured GTK 2 graphical interface.

This lil program is good stuff!

Conky has this functionality.

You probably want the Development & Programming forum.
