I am somewhat skilled in C and unix shell scripts I belief and I am really
interested a lot in networking concepts and os kernels although just have
basic knowledge of latter. I felt this project is a good one for a starter,
so I thought I should work on it.
Yes, I forked the repository and starting reading stuff related to project.
Thanks for the advises. I will make sure to read the man pages too.

Also, I use a Mac generally for work. I wanted to enquire if that could
cause any issues later? Like compatibility or some other?

Thanks,
Mihir
