How it works

Walk the option area. Kind 0 ends it, kind 1 is a one-byte NOP, and other options include a length covering kind and length bytes.

02 04 05 B4 is an MSS option with value 1460.

Limits

Paste option bytes only, without the TCP header. Unknown kinds retain raw data; this does not validate an entire packet or checksum.
