Audible feedback on just how much your browsing feeds into Google.

Makes a little bit of noise any time your computer sends a packet to a
|
|
tracker or a Google service, which excludes Google Cloud users.

## How to compile
|
|
This will currently only work on Unix derived systems (like Linux, OSX and
|
|
FreeBSD).
|
|
|
|
You need a C++ compiler like `gcc-c++` and CMake for compiling the binary.
|
|
|
|
You also need to install `libpcaudio` (`libpcaudio-dev` on Debian/Ubuntu, `pcaudiolib-devel` on Fedora/Red Hat).
|
|
For OSX [this is a bit more work](https://github.com/espeak-ng/pcaudiolib#mac-os)
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cmake .
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to run
|
|
Start as:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo tcpdump -nql | ./teller
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And cry.
|
|
|
|
## Data source
|
|
The list of Google services IP addresses can be found on [this Google
|
|
support page](https://support.google.com/a/answer/10026322?hl=en).
|
|
|
|
Note that this splits out Google services and Google cloud user IP
|
|
addresses. However, it appears the Google services set includes the cloud IP
|
|
addresses, so you must check both sets before determining something is in
|
|
fact a Google service and not a Google customer.

# To run on a single process on Linux
|
|
|
|
Or, to track a single process, fe `firefox`, start it and run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo bpftrace netsendmsg.bt |
|
|
grep --line-buffered ^$(pgrep firefox) |
|
|
stdbuf -oL cut -f2 | ./cidr.py | ./teller
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And cry.
