⚠️Important Security Notes

Privilege Requirements

Live packet capture may require root privileges on some systems
SYN scanning requires raw socket access (root only)
Interface binding may need elevated permissions

Ethical Usage Guidelines

⚖️ LEGAL COMPLIANCE REQUIRED
├── ✅ Only scan networks you own or have explicit permission to test
├── ✅ Respect rate limits to avoid overwhelming target systems
├── ✅ Use appropriate timeouts and thread counts
├── ✅ Follow responsible disclosure for any vulnerabilities found
└── ❌ Never use for unauthorized network reconnaissance

Built-in Safety Features

Rate limiting prevents overwhelming target systems
Timeout controls ensure scans don't hang indefinitely
Thread limits prevent resource exhaustion
Logging provides audit trails for all activities

🛡️ Security Features

Threat Detection Capabilities
