NetGlobe

NetGlobe is a command-line tool that visualizes the foreign countries your computer is connected to on a 3D globe. It leverages a Python server, an HTTP server, and geolocation data to display your network connections.

How It Works

1. Python Server:

   • Starts a backend server that runs the netstat -an command to gather foreign IPs your computer is connected to.
   • Parses the foreign IPs and retrieves the corresponding countries using the IPGeolocation API.

2. HTTP Server:

   • Sends requests to the Python server to retrieve processed data about the foreign connections.
   • Serves a 3D globe visualization in your browser.

3. Visualization:

   • Opens your browser to display a 3D globe.
   • Shows arcs from your IP location to the countries you're connected to.

Features

• Visualization of foreign network connections.
• Interactive 3D globe rendered in your browser.
• Uses geolocation API to map IPs to their respective countries.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Python3 with modules "requests", "flask" and "flask-cors"
