Thanks for the question!

Yes, Vanta currently relies on gopacket for packet capture and parsing. As a student, my main goal was to build something clear, functional, and real — rather than reinvent everything from scratch.

I'm actively learning the details of network protocols, and I do plan to write some custom parsers later, both for flexibility and personal understanding. But at this stage, I think it’s more important to deliver a meaningful tool than to prove I can reimplement low-level stacks.

In the long run, I may gradually replace parts of gopacket, but right now it's an important and reliable foundation for the project.

(And honestly — finishing something real matters more to me than perfection )
