+# Network Sniffer (tcpdump) as a Service
+
+Provides an HTTP service that allows the user to sniff the network in real time.  The packet capture data is served as an HTTP stream that can be injected to a packet analysis tool on the fly.
+
+
+## How to run it
+
+For the sake of simplicity, run:
+
+```
+$ sudo -E kapow server NetworkSniffer.pow
+```
+
+In a production environment, tcpdump should be run with the appropiate
+permissions, but kapow can (and should) run as an unprivileged user.
+
+
+## How to consume it
+
+```
+$ curl http://localhost:8080/sniff | sudo -E wireshark -k -i -
+```
