Hey everyone, I'm the original author of this library. This is actually my first software project ever-- I'm a full-time officer in the military who was just messing around. It's extremely flattering to see this shared so publicly, but I feel the need to pre-emptively apologize to readers. This is just a hobby project for now, but I would appreciate feedback.

Keep rolling with it; there's an opportunity for someone to start a memory-safe protocol analyzer written in a higher-level language than C with a decent TUI, and have it snowball into something big. Best of luck!

Thank you for your service and your project! Looks really well done. I have always wanted to make something using the Charm ecosystem.
A question to everyone:
Can anyone explain the networking part of this a bit? I see the `gopacket` package has been used. Is it only capable of "readonly" operations like this?
I'm trying to make a cross-platform system wide URL-based blocker and was wondering if this (gopacket) could achieve that. Any good resources for studying about the same?
I've seen projects do the same for Linux with proxies.

This is really well done! I found it on /r/golang and wanted to submit it to HN because it worked so well. Thanks for making such an awesome tool.
