Packet Garden



There are lots of tools that you can use to track browsing habits, but few are as interesting as Packet Garden. The program monitors your browsing, and uses that information to render a world which you can explore. None of the information is shared, or exported, or even detailed for that matter. So, the fact that you visited teenagenymphos.com can remain your secret.

To do this, Packet Garden takes note of all the servers you visit, their geographical location and the kinds of data you access. Uploads make hills and downloads valleys, their location determined by numbers taken from internet address itself. The size of each hill or valley is based on how much data is sent or received. Plants are also grown for each protocol detected by the software; if you visit a website, an ‘HTTP plant’ is grown. If you share some files via eMule, a ‘Peer to Peer plant’ is grown, and so on.
