Hey everybody, I wrote an interactive TUI for exploring live SQLite3 queries happening on any linux system. It uses uprobes to do the inspection in the kernel, I found it useful hope you like it!

Could you build this?
No Intercepting live SQLite3 queries via Linux kernel uprobes requires low-level systems programming and deep expertise in eBPF, kernel tracing, and SQLite's internal C ABI.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires writing eBPF probes attached to userspace symbols (`sqlite3_prepare_v2`, `sqlite3_step`) via `uprobes` in C, Rust (Aya), or Go (Cilium/ebpf), tracking memory pointers across processes and decoding UTF-8 SQL query strings from user space. It also demands root/CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges, handling memory pagination and ASLR, and integrating with a TUI framework (like Ratatui or Bubbletea).
