  • How do remote interfaces work in wireshark?
    1 project | /r/wireshark | 7 Jun 2023
    As long as your custom service used the rpcap protocol I'd expect it to be possible. You may find this GitHub page informative, since it includes some rpcap source code and one of the main Wireshark developers appears to be a contributor there.
  • How to reverse engineer a JSON API on a single page application
    3 projects | dev.to | 26 Dec 2022
    mitmproxy can be used to find the HTTP request with the needed data in addition browser dev tools. At some point, I'll explore tcpdump and wireshark to reverse engineer websites for web scraping and share the learnings with you.
  • Chibicc – A Small C Compiler

    (Of course, this consideration should be appropriately downweighted by YAGNI, as threading memory management through prototype or internal utility code can by itself easily force it into very non-prototype amounts of effort.)

  • Question re C interop, type, for use with std.mem
    1 project | /r/Zig | 23 Oct 2022
    I am working with libpcap, a library that parses packets captured from tcpdump, which I have cIncluded from Zig.
  • Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
    54 projects | dev.to | 27 Sep 2022
    Nmap and Wireshark, tcpdump tools can be used to scan networks and packets.
  • Working on Net+, Need Some Direction
    1 project | /r/ITCareerQuestions | 4 Sep 2022
    Also definitely start looking at tcpdump and wireshark. These are invaluable tools for the non-network engineer that is perhaps a sysadmin or analyst to use for network troubleshooting.
  • Modding
    1 project | /r/kotor | 11 Jul 2022
    For future reference, libpcap is a library that Wireshark and many other network analysis tools use to record network traffic. It has its own file format that it can use to save the recorded network traffic to disk.

  • Linux Debugging
    1 project | /r/devops | 6 Apr 2022
    A lot is covered here and here, sar might be useful, getfacl and tcpdump and probably hundred more tools I am not even aware of. The easiest to learn those is to have a problem and identify and solve it with those tools, but to do that you need to know roughly what those tools can do.
  • Gain Visibility into Istio mTLS Traffic with Mizu
    4 projects | /r/golang | 30 Mar 2022
    For example, gopacket uses libpcap by default for capturing the traffic. Libpcap doesn't support network namespaces and we can't ask it to listen to traffic on a different namespace. However, we can change the network namespace of the calling thread and then start libpcap to see the traffic on a different namespace.
