ksnif with GKE (cos) capture with privileged (-p) option: Nothing get captured

[GregoireW]

When launching ksniff on a GKE cluster (1.28+) running COS node and with the '-p' to create a privileged port to sniff an existing pod, I got no output as the tcpdump fail:

Basically ctr do not find the tcpdump image.
Modifying the code to use ctr to pull the image do the trick and fix the issue.

I confirm that we are running into the same issue as described by @GregoireW. Would be awesome if the PR #184 gets merged 😄

I am seeing the same logs in a GKE cluster. Is there any plan to address the issue or merge the PR? 🙏
