netmon

netmon is a skill for Claude Code from larsboes/Axon. It costs 174 tokens per session (1,541 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A home-network monitoring tool that finds devices, scans their open ports, tracks changes over time, measures internet traffic, and shows which websites each device contacts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory devices, investigate exposed ports, compare the network with an earlier state, check total internet usage, and inspect DNS requests from individual devices.
Why use it?
It replaces several separate checks with one view of what is connected to your home network and what those devices are doing. A saved baseline makes new or missing devices easier to spot.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

netmon scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

netmon

Network visibility from wherever you run it — especially after isolating IoT onto its own VLAN. scan/ports/baseline/diff need only nmap + the Python stdlib and no credentials. traffic reads the Fritz!Box over TR-064 (credentials from Bitwarden at runtime). dns/egress read a resolver's query log over SSH. Nothing is pinned to one house.

Configuration

Non-secret config lives in the committed axon-overlay overlay (config/home-assistant.vars, resolved via $AXON_HOME_ROOT, falling back to the active deployment overlay). The one secret comes from Bitwarden at runtime.

What Source Default
Subnet to scan --subnet / $NETMON_SUBNET / NETMON_SUBNET in home-assistant.vars auto-derived from the primary interface as a /24
SSH target (dns/egress) $NETMON_SSH / NETMON_SSH in home-assistant.vars none — required for dns/egress
Resolver container $NETMON_DNS_CONTAINER dnsmasq
Fritz!Box host + user (traffic) FRITZBOX_HOST / FRITZBOX_USERNAME in home-assistant.vars none — required for traffic
Fritz!Box password (traffic) Bitwarden item $NETMON_BW_ITEM, secret field FRITZBOX_PASSWORD home-assistant/netmon

For subnet and SSH the env var wins if set, else the overlay config, else (subnet only) auto-derivation; the --subnet flag overrides everything. The bw item holds only the secret FRITZBOX_PASSWORD — the non-secret FRITZBOX_HOST/FRITZBOX_USERNAME live in home-assistant.vars (same split and shape as the fritz skill). Provision the password via Axon setup-secret.sh.

Run

# Inventory + drift (no credentials)
scripts/netmon scan                       # live hosts + MAC + vendor
scripts/netmon ports 10.0.0.45            # open ports on one host (default --top-ports 100)
scripts/netmon baseline                    # save the known-good snapshot
scripts/netmon diff                        # new / missing hosts since baseline

# WAN throughput (needs bw + fritzconnection)
export BW_SESSION=$(bw unlock --raw)
scripts/netmon traffic

# DNS egress (needs $NETMON_SSH)
export NETMON_SSH=user@resolver-host
scripts/netmon dns                         # top domains, all clients
scripts/netmon egress 10.0.0.128           # one device's external domains

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

netmon is a skill published in the GitHub repository larsboes/Axon (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 174 tokens to every session and 1,541 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
