A simple Reticulum packet viewer that works via capturing the output of `tshark`. Build on top of reticulum-packet-rs. This is a proof-of-concept and not properly versioned, as such it requires the latest git version of reticulum-packet-rs most of the time to work.

Assuming we want to caputer all packets from/to the Frankfurt testnet node:

sudo unbuffer tshark -T fields -e data host frankfurt.connect.reticulum.network | ~/reticulum-packet-viewer

By default, it will output in stderr some human readable information about the received packets. If the -v/--verbose flag is passed, the data part of the packet will also be printed as a list of 2 hex characters.

The --announce flag will also output the app data part of any received announcements.

The --filter flag followed by a Reticulum address, will make it so that only packets that match the provided address in one of the two address fields of the header will be displayed.

This is an example output when requesting the Unsigned.io node on Reticulum:
