Description

Lantern is a side project started on ~Aug 2024. Is a packet capture written just for fun and experiment with a "real" kernel module. The core is a C driver with a netfilter hook that capture incoming packets and send them to the user-space through a character device. The user-space application is written in C++ and the GUI has been created with wxWidget.

Goals

Change / rewrite completely the driver removing the mutex / spinlock. The idea is experiment with per-cpu variables and use (maybe) a workqueue in order to handle the incoming packet.
