Wirematrix is a matrix screensaver that shows encoded packets captured from the local network interface. This is extremely cool and with time, the user learns to "see the matrix" in the encoded stream.

Installation

This rough version is a little hard to install. This probably runs only on linux. You will need:

pyopengl

py2cairo (must be installed manually. To install into virtualenv see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11491268/install-pycairo-in-virtualenv)

pyhack (http://www.liquidx.net/pyhack/)

libpcap

pypcap (current version in pypi needs a bit of manual intervention to get it to build: change _pcap_config( to pcap_config( in setup.py)

Running

I still didn't figure out how to use setcap to allow this to run as non-root, so for now it must run as root. Soon, soon...
