I agree for the "ip" tool (from iproute2).. I got used to it but I still prefer the ifconfig output. It is somehow consistant and you can get used to it. I somehow got accustomed to the nftables rules format. It is in fact objecti

I would say because it relies on an hardware key, which few of your users are going to have anyway. Any tech requiring an hardware component is going to be much slower to deploy. I know there is still much interest in deploying it for inter

Standard posix sockets are mostly just system calls. The TCP state machine is implemented in the OS kernel. You can switch to raw socket and do the TCP syn/ack dance on your own but this is mostly done for network testing/pen test
