Yes.

You need to be able to read from the bpf device, so either change the
owner to be your username or group to be a group that you're in and give
read permission to that. I've always preferred the letter syntax: chmod
u+r /dev/bpf* gives user read permission without changing the other
permissions (that's chmod 400 /dev/bpf* for an absolute user read only /
no access for others for the octally inclined).
