v0.1.0 — Initial Public Release

Limpet v0.1.0 — Initial Public Release

Limpet is a high-precision network scanner using eBPF/XDP kernel-bypass timing for nanosecond-resolution SYN scanning.

Features

• eBPF/XDP kernel-bypass — timestamps captured at the NIC driver level, bypassing the kernel network stack
• Nanosecond RTT resolution — sub-microsecond timing precision for network fingerprinting
• SYN scanning — stateless TCP SYN probing with kernel-level response capture
• ML-ready output — structured timing embeddings for downstream analysis pipelines
• Ring buffer architecture — lock-free BPF ring buffer for high-throughput packet capture

Context

Limpet is the open-source scanning component of the NullRabbit platform — autonomous defence for validator infrastructure and decentralised networks.
