zeek: Analyze live traffic from a network interface.
$ sudo zeek --iface ${interface}
try on your machine

This command is used to run the Zeek network security monitoring tool with superuser privileges (hence the sudo command). Zeek (formerly called Bro) is an open-source software that analyzes network traffic and detects potential security issues.

The --iface ${interface} argument specifies the network interface that Zeek should monitor. ${interface} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the network interface you want Zeek to monitor.

By running this command, Zeek will start capturing and analyzing network traffic on the specified interface, helping to identify potential threats or issues.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
