WORKING tutorial on how to enable iOS voice chat RIGHT NOW
You'll need to install mitmproxy and set it up on your computer and iOS. I won't go into too much detail here on how to do this, but there are plenty of guides available. This is a pretty good one: https://nadav.ca/2021/02/26/inspecting-an-iphone-s-https-traffic/

Upside-Down-Ternet (2006)
TIL this goes back to 2006, how cool! We nowadays have a much simpler version as a mitmproxy example: https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/main/examples/ad.... Although it obviously does not work as well anymore with everything being HTTPS nowadays (unless you trust the cert of course). :)

How to implement SSL/TLS pinning in Node.js
A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.

Wireshark & tcpdump: A Debugging Power Couple
To begin with Wireshark, visit their official website for the download. The installation process is straightforward, but attention should be paid to the installation of command-line tools, which may require separate steps. Upon launching Wireshark, users are greeted with a selection of network interfaces as seen below. Choosing the correct interface, such as the loopback for local server debugging, is crucial for capturing relevant data.

Non-IP networking
If you're very curious as to what is really going on under the hood, I recommend you familiarize yourself with port mirroring for your switch platform of choice, and then use a laptop in promiscuous mode to capture traffic using Wireshark. Failing that, hire a network engineer to interview one of their sales engineers or architects, and have them explain it to you.

Network+ Wireshark classification question
Obviously based on the question you know the answer is a Wireshark-like software and it boils down to how you classify Wireshark. My issue is that Wikipedia refers to it as a Packet Analyzer, Varonis refers to it as a Packet Sniffer, Wireshark refers to itself as a Network Protocol Analyzer, Kali documentation refers to it as a Network Sniffer, Wireshark's README refers to itself as a Network Analyzer OR Sniffer...
