You're assuming that everyone has access to a doctor, and that people who do have doctors will visit them instead of just looking at their phone.

Additionally, if I'm buying cold medicine there's a really good chance I have a cold , and my ability and inclination to carefully analyze the ingredient list on a box of medicine smear-printed in 3pt sans will likely be diminish

It depends on the brand, but a lot of the stuff I buy is available directly from the manufacturer's site, usually via Shop Pay.

Can confirm. Renaming Ethereal to Wireshark involved a bunch of code and documentation updates, registering word and design trademarks across jurisdictions, and in our case we didn't have control over the old domain, so I had to contac

No clue if that exact image was altered, but I do a fair amount of road biking east of Napa and Sonoma, and on some days the sky and hills look just like the photo.

If I read the sentence correctly they're saying that past reports were AI slop, but the state of the art has advanced and that current reports are valid. This matches trends I've seen on the projects I work on.

What "distro" package manager is available on Windows and macOS? vcpkg doesn't provide binary packages and has quite a few autotools-shaped holes. Homebrew is great as long as you're building for your local machine'

Don't schools typically use Chromebooks these days? My daughter was issued one each year from grade 7 to 12.

I ran into a similar situation a couple of years ago. It wasn't at the scale you describe, but it was an absurd number of requests for a ~80 MB software installer. I ended up redirecting the offending requests to a file named "ple

I lead a large-ish open source software project. We have developers that need to build on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It's useful to be able to get everyone bootstrapped with as few steps as possible and with as few dependencies as poss

Those tools either don't ship with, or exist in wildly different forms on Windows. It's particularly bad for curl, which might be the real curl.se curl or Microsoft's confusingly-named Powershell alias. I could definitely see

For plain C/C++ you can just pass `-arch x86_64 -arch arm64` to clang. CMake takes care of this for you if you specify `CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64;arm64` and IIRC Meson has similar functionality.

For us (Wireshark) the difficulty wasn't with our own codebase, but with getting our dependencies ported over. Most libraries built just fine, but some strongly assumed that "Windows" meant "x86". It's not just

You might try passing `--modern-bpf` to sysdig. It has traditionally captured syscalls using a kernel module, and it sounds like that's where your errors are coming from. Newer versions have added eBPF support, which doesn't requi

Thanks! It's great to hear from you!

Chris is definitely a good resource! We (the Wireshark Foundation) also have SharkFest session recordings up at https://www.youtube.com/@WireSharkFest

In this case you would presumably have a capture file that contained syscall events at both the macOS boundary and at the Linux VM boundary. At the present time it would be like capturing traffic on either side of a firewall and loading it

Done. We've been upgraded from medium-risk "grayware" to low-risk "generally do not contain content that is useful to the end user" which is technically better, I suppose. Update: We're now Low-Risk / Co

The tools are similar in many ways, but Stratoshark shares Wireshark's dissection, filtering, and UI code, which provides a more low-level details and a free-form filtering language. Stratoshark is currently limited to capture on Linux
26.
by geraldcombs 2y ago
It uses Falco libs[1] underneath, which supports capture using eBPF or a kmod. I work with the Falco libs team and they go to great lengths to minimize overhead. [1] https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs/

by geraldcombs 2y ago
Right now the UI runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux but you can only capture system calls on Linux via Falco libs[1]. Expanding local capture to include macOS and Windows is definitely something we'd love to do! [1] https://gi

We don't share any code with DTrace, but it's not a bad analogy. As with my other reply about strace, it'd be interesting to see if we can more closely integrate Stratoshark, strace, and DTrace in the same way that Wireshark

by geraldcombs 2y ago
Pretty much. It's part of the same ecosystem as Sysdig OSS[1], which works much like strace. It uses the same underlying libraries as sysdig and Falco, and you can move capture files between them. It'd be interesting to see if we

You're welcome! It was initially developed as part of my day job at Sysdig, a cloud security company. The initial feature set and use cases focus on getting .scaps (system call and log captures) from cloud environments, but you're
