Vanta

Seconding this. Implementing low level protocols from scratch is a great introduction to network programming (do the kids today ever do network programming, or is it all just 15…

Cool! I did something similar when I wanted to learn Go, but did my own parsers instead of using gopacket, I would recommend doing that yourself if you want to learn more low…

Go is great for tools like this. I've built MITM protocol analyzers a few times. Being able to completely customize the handling, analysis, and break in in the debugger can make…

For me the main reasons to pick Go in those context are cross-compilation, static binaries and more subjectively better productivity. You can very quickly get an MVP running and…

Have to say it would be worth making this project just for the sake of this pun alone.

Congratulations on the launch! FYI there is a pretty well-known YC startup named Vanta that helps companies manage various security compliance certifications. Obviously, there…

Note there's a popular cybersecurity company called "Vanta" to which they own the trademark, so the name probably should be changed to avoid confusion.

Yes especially since Vanta is an already well known company.

It's the em dash that does it for me

Screenshots please!

Yeah, and especially as Vanta is adjacent... I think a rebranding is in order. Vanta (and the auditors they market) is a nice company I'm happy user of but I'm afraid they won't…

This looks nice, perhaps name your project babyshark?

Cool! Will definitely take a look. Curios what made you choose Go for this project? I am looking into building a toy version of Burp with either Rust/Go but still undecided.

Genuine question: is this a wrapper around Google's gopacket?

Cool! I've sometimes gotten the impression that wireshark-lite is an unfulfilled niche so this is nice.

In this specific case, the 'static binaries' and 'cross-compilation' aspect aren't relevant, as vanta is a dynamically linked binary with multiple library dependencies; it has to…

Hey, that's what I'm doing! ;) https://github.com/redawl/gitm I chose go mainly for static binaries (no install steps needed for the end user), and also because I have been…
