Wouldn't it be better to use some kind of privilege separation? I think there is a reason WireShark does this... And even saying Rust is a safe Language won't save you from programming errors, it just makes them more diffcult.

Thank you for the suggestion. Spyglass went from concept to a working product which met the project goals, in a little over 5 weeks.

And, you're correct it won't save you from all programming errors. It does, however, make it far more difficult to accidentally encounter whole classes of them which constitute, on average, quite a high percentage of debug time in other systems languages.
