    drop_mon (or whatever it's called) is one of the weirder things in the Linux kernel. It has only one implementation I've found, "dropwatch", which is, to put it gently, not a great example of a modern C CLI program --- for instance, the kernel subsystem gives you snapshots of packet contents themselves, and there is already a very flexible and easy-to-use library for filtering packets based on their contents with an enormous ecosystem, but all dropwatch will do is print dumps.

    I threw together a half-assed POC alternative implementation in Go a couple months ago, using Matt Layher's fantastic netlink libraries:
