Security tools are confusing to use but they are even worse to install. You often get stuck installing development packages and loads of dependencies just to get one working. Most of the tools are written by a single person trying to get something out the door fast. And most security tools want advanced privileges so they can craft packets with ease or install `-dev` packages themselves.
