I. Invocation
So came pktool v1.0 : the first pair of eyes pressed against the wire. It could parse, filter, print — a stethoscope for the digital circulatory system. It was good. But it was literal . pktool v2.0
Where v1.0 asked “What is in the packet?” v2.0 asks *“What is the packet in ?” your own collisions
If you answer no, it prints:
$ pktool v2.0 capture --consent false Error: Then why are you here? your own dropped windows?”
pktool v2.0 ships with a --consent flag. It is not optional. The tool asks, before every capture: “Do you consent to seeing what is actually there — including the parts of the network that resemble your own forgetfulness, your own collisions, your own dropped windows?”
