  • Packet capture (use PcapPlusPlus in Rust?)

    Hey, I'm looking for the best way to do packet capture in Rust. I've looked at both libpnet and pcap crates, and they both seem way less mature and with less functionality than the PcapPlusPlus library, which seems to be the golden suite of packet capture and manipulation.

    I can not find, the original project, or example, so here is mine: https://github.com/sleepy771/rustacap/blob/master/src/main.rs (it probably does not work, because each of the libraries used has evovlved). Basically it caputred packets on interface using pcap (libpcap) and then parsed them using nom.
