This seems like it belonged on freshmeat ca. Y2K.
For this application, current best practice is using Electron stack, or better, cloning VSCode and relying on GeoLeoMaximusDYP v3.2 LLM for geo-location.

How can starting a browser be a best practice? This app is lightweight and does not even use a GUI toolkit. You would roughly use 20x more memory. How is that a best practice?

Using sarcasm. Sarcasm that you missed.

Basically, any path longer than 256 characters for `mapFilename` would cause a buffer overrun. An unprivileged app could run your app (say, with more privileges), with a very long `HOME` environment path, causing a buffer overflow, and potentially exploit it to use your app's privileges to do more stuff than it was supposed to. Basically, you should never use strcpy and strcat and but use the secure alternatives like…
> (say, with more privileges) Isn't it a moot point if unprivileged app can already run anything with more privileges? In normal operation, connmap requires no special privileges.
Say the program was installed and set so the user didn't have privs to modify the executable (so an attacker couldn't just change it to do what they want).
A buffer overflow could allow an attacker to gain control flow of the program and feed bogus data to the user allowing them to scrub their presence from the map.
Also, awesome project!

Those 3 dots are your peers, the other end of the TCP connection :) So you basically have some apps running in the background (or foreground) that are making those connections.
I'm colorblind and had to change the dots color. Might be a nice config option.

I stopped reading the rest. I just saw Electron is mentioned. Some people honestly think that is a good approach.
Well, it is extremely portable. Just also all the other things you mentioned.
Another idea. Would it be possible to make the dots fade out, a little like in https://www.lightningmaps.org, so I could see some of the older traffic points as well?
