It has been over a month since the last release candidate of the upcoming netsniff-ng 0.5.8, so here goes another one. It contains fixes all over the place, with nothing particularly standing out, which I'd consider a good sign :)
However, there are still a few open issues in the github bug tracker [1], most of them discovered by Jon Schipp in his ample test runs. [1] https://github.com/borkmann/netsniff-ng/issues?state=open Before the final release will happen, we'll have to investigate what causes these. If you like, feel free to take a look at the issues and try to reproduce/fix them. In any case, feel free to try it out and report any issues you encounter.
