Initial commit: wireframe packet capture/analysis tool
Terminal packet capture and analysis tool built to learn the C++ memory model (byte layout, alignment, endianness, std::span over unowned buffers) via a real capture pipeline. - Hand-rolled L2-L4 decoders (Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6 with extension header walking, TCP, UDP) over std::span, no struct-casting - L7 dissector interface with DNS, HTTP, and TLS SNI implementations - pcapng read/write for Wireshark-compatible capture files - Bounded capture queue: drop-on-backpressure for live capture, blocking push for faithful file replay - Kernel-level BPF filtering (-f) and a separate display-only search (-g / interactive) that doesn't touch what's captured - Replay mode (-r) reads a saved pcapng file back through the same pipeline as live capture, no root or live device needed - pcap_stats() surfaces kernel/interface drops invisible to the capture queue's own counter - Three frontends sharing one CaptureSession setup path: CLI, TUI (FTXUI, primary), GUI (Dear ImGui + SDL3, secondary) - 89 unit tests (doctest) plus 9 libFuzzer harnesses covering every hand-rolled parser; fuzzing found and fixed a real OOM in the pcapng reader (unbounded allocation from an untrusted length field)
