2024-05-27Rename project from wireframe to packeteersrdusr1-91/+0
Decided on the name after weighing alternatives in NAMES.md: packeteer (packet + -eer, "one who wields packets") fit the project's actual scope better than the wire/frame pun once it had grown into full L2-L7 dissection, reassembly, checksums, privilege dropping, and dual TUI/GUI frontends. No existing packet-capture project uses the name; the one real-world collision (Packeteer, Inc., a networking company acquired and folded into Blue Coat/Symantec by 2008) is long defunct. Mechanical rename throughout: CMake project/target names, the wireframe:: namespace and include/wireframe/ directory (git mv, history preserved), every #include path, CLI/GUI help text, and the project's own working directory. NAMES.md rewritten to record the decision instead of leaving stale self-referential etymology behind from the blind rename pass. Verified after every step: full rebuild (all four targets, no warnings) and the full test suite (128/128 cases, 366/366 assertions) both from a fresh reconfigure and again after the directory move.
2024-05-17Add privilege dropping, AF_PACKET demo, ICMP, checksum validation, --help, ↵srdusr1-0/+91
and TCP reassembly Rounds out the build order in PLAN.md with six incremental additions: drop root privileges immediately after opening the capture handle; a standalone AF_PACKET/mmap ring-buffer demo (kept separate from CaptureSession, see its header comment for why); ICMPv4/ICMPv6 type and code decoding; opt-in IPv4/TCP/UDP checksum validation (-c); CLI --help; and opt-in, in-order-only TCP stream reassembly (-a) so HTTP requests/responses split across segments can be seen whole. Each addition is unit-tested and, where it touches live traffic behavior, verified against real captured packets - see PLAN.md's Decisions section for the verification notes on each.
