Welcome @therealbobo! It looks like this is your first PR to falcosecurity/plugin-sdk-go 🎉

Hi @therealbobo. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a falcosecurity member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

I was thinking that could be a good idea to add some helpers: that way the final user will use directly, for example, net.IP instead of populating the buffer manually. WDYT? @jasondellaluce
