+**running the container:**
+
+```bash
+# basic usage - sees host sockets but not process names
+docker run --rm --net=host snitch:latest ls
+
+# full info - includes PID, process name, user
+docker run --rm --net=host --pid=host --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE snitch:latest ls
+```
+
+| flag | purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `--net=host` | share host network namespace (required to see host connections) |
+| `--pid=host` | share host pid namespace (needed for process info) |
+| `--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE` | read process details from `/proc/<pid>` |
+
+> **note:** `CAP_NET_ADMIN` and `CAP_NET_RAW` are not required. snitch reads from `/proc/net/*` which doesn't need special network capabilities.
