Description

Right now bandwhich is built from 153 packages (from the cargo install count). That's a really large attack surface for an app that's going to run under sudo. Could the app be split into two processes? one of which runs as the user and handles the display, the other (with a smaller number of dependencies) as root to access just the network traffic and pass it to the user process.

I'd really like to be able to run the process as me. Then that process tries to sudo the network grabbing process with the required password if sudo requires it.
