AI Analysis

●●●BangerWizardryNiche Gem

eBPF kernel tracing lets you sniff Wi-Fi without monitor mode or disconnecting.

Strengths

•Attaches to mac80211 kernel structures instead of requiring raw socket monitor mode.
•Visualizes RSSI histograms and frame types using braille graphics in real time.
•Anonymization flag masks SSIDs and MACs for safe screenshot sharing.

Weaknesses

•Linux-only dependency on eBPF limits adoption across macOS or Windows users.
•Requires recent Linux kernel with eBPF support, breaking older distros or containers.

CC Wiretap – intercepting and visualizing Claude Code traffic real-time

Instead of wrestling with raw mitmproxy output, this tool gives a purpose-built UI that shows system prompts, tool definitions, token accounting, streaming responses and tool calls — all in real time. The one-liner shell setup, keyboard shortcuts, and token breakdown make debugging Claude Code conversations startlingly quicker, though it’s inherently a local MITM (trust the generated CA) and is narrow by design to Anthropic’s workflow.
