| ### Troubleshooting: `naabu` build fails with `pcap.h: No such file or directory` |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could you move this under Installation section? https://github.com/Elmi108/pdtm/tree/docs/naabu-prereqs?tab=readme-ov-file#installation Also, let's make sure the format is correct. Thanks!

Thanks for putting this together, and sorry for the slow turnaround. The reason I'm going to close this is that the premise no longer holds: libpcap is recommended for SYN scan but it's not required anymore. If it's missing, naabu automatically falls back to connect scan instead of failing, so documenting it as a hard requirement would be misleading to users. Appreciate the effort regardless, and please keep the contributions coming. |

Adds a Troubleshooting section explaining how to fix the naabu build error
"pcap.h: No such file or directory" when pdtm builds from source.
Includes install commands for Debian/Ubuntu/Kali, Fedora, and Arch.
Tested on Kali (Go 1.24.9, pdtm v0.1.3); installing libpcap-dev fixes the build.
