It runs as a sidecarless DaemonSet in Kubernetes, attaching TC hooks at both ingress and egress to capture kernel-native packet events with minimal overhead (~33 MB RSS). A userspace Tokio agent polls a ring buffer, stores events in SQLite, and exposes a REST API plus Prometheus metrics. Optional deep inspection enables TLS SNI and DNS query extraction. The eBPF program compiles to just 784 bytes and the tool requires Linux kernel 5.8+ with BTF support. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
