python vrrp_hijacker/__main__.py --help VRRP-Hijacker requires most of the time root privileges to perform actions such as sniffing network for hunting VRRP packets.
Most of the time, you will need to run the command with sudo.
However, the sudo environment may not include your user’s local pipx binary path by default.
To fix this, you need to update your sudo secure path.
sudo ~/.local/bin/vrrp-hijacker sniff -i vmnet8
