Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

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.

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...

CMV: The Second Amendment "right to bear arms" and the discussions surrounding gun control also apply to hacking tools.
I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Hackers Tools: Must-Have Tools for Every Ethical Hacker
Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)
-
Penetration Testing
This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
