neoss

neoss is a terminal‑based utility that presents active TCP and UDP sockets together with a range of associated metrics. It replaces the traditional `ss` command by offering a clear, interactive user interface that lets users sort, refresh, and navigate the displayed data. The tool can resolve port numbers to their standard services, translate IP addresses and domain names, and provide WHOIS information for those endpoints.

In addition to basic socket details, neoss supplies contextual explanations for each field, including protocol definitions, connection states, queue meanings, and ownership information such as user name, process identifier, and the full command line of the owning process. Users can expand individual cells to view these extended details on demand.

The application is distributed as a Node.js package and can be installed globally via npm. It runs directly from the command line with the `neoss` command, and common keystrokes allow exiting, refreshing, sorting, and toggling detailed views. The project is stable, open source, and welcomes contributions through its public repository.
