This is not as bad as it sounds, as not every plugin use a bpf

at the same time (when pinging hosts at the begining of a scan for
instance).

I hope they'll come up with a clean solution. It's not really feasible
to ask a MacOS user to recompile her kernel (or "server", as we're
dealing with a microkernel-based OS) just to add bpfs (or just to
recompile her kernel fwiw).

You also need to reduce max_hosts. max_threads is deprecated.
