In a 4-minute video linked in Fernando Quintão's message, viewers can learn about Honey Potion, a tool designed to manipulate network packets on Linux systems, with capabilities such as redirection, dropping, counting, and more. This is achieved through the Honey Potion compiler, which allows developers to write Elixir code that is then compiled into eBPF, a powerful and efficient virtual machine within the Linux kernel that can run sandboxed programs in the context of the kernel. Furthermore, Fernando Quintão references a research paper detailing the Honey Potion project, which can be found at the given link for those interested in the technical intricacies and performance assessments of the compiler.
