    Build a browser on top of an open standard, neglect that standard, then refer to that neglecting as the reason to kill it. This fits that spiderman pointing at spiderman meme perfe…

    Yes, since NixOS runs on a standard Linux kernel, Qtap will work. I realized that we weren't scanning the nix store for shared libs (eg. OpenSSL) and added that this morning.

    Thanks! We're really excited about Qcontrol and what it will be able to provide! The rules in that doc are powered by our Rulekit project https://github.com/qpoint-io/rulekit if yo…

    `ecapture` has been around for a while and do a lot of great stuff and a lot of functionality overlaps. Our aim is to make Qtap extensible and via a plugin system. We have http1/2 …

    As of today, we don't output pcap or har files though these are additions I'd like to make in the future, they aren't currently on our near term roadmap.

    Qtap does require root privileges to function as it uses eBPF to hook into kernel and userspace program functions. The good news is it can also be run within a container. There are…

    Fair point on -O2 and -O3 optimized bins. We've approached this by building custom bin utils that are optimized for blazingly fast symbol recognition. Traditional ELF tools that fo…

    That was one of our biggest motivators when dreaming up Qtap. How can we remove the impact that proxies have on connections, AND see the content without having to manage a custom c…

    Qtap scans binaries of processes as well known locations for OpenSSL on startup, then passes the offsets to eBPF where it hooks into the SSL_read and SSL_write to get the content b…
