Show HN: Using eBPF to see through encryption without a proxy


Qtap: An eBPF agent that captures pre-encrypted network traffic, providing rich context about egress connections and their originating processes. - qpoint-io/qtap

Qtap shows you exactly what data is being sent and received in its original, unencrypted form while operating out-of-band with minimal overhead, without adding latency or disrupting application performance. Debugging network issues- When APIs return errors or connections fail, seeing the actual data being sent helps identify misconfigured parameters, malformed requests, or unexpected responses. Troubleshooting third-party integrations- When integrating with external services, Qtap helps confirm what data is actually being exchanged versus what documentation claims.
