  • Help with packet sniffing and parsing in rust

    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.
