Ethereal How To

Filed under: Networking, Uncategorized — Dax++ @ 5:57 pm

If you ever have to sniff packets on your network (and as a softie there will always be times when you’ll have to get your hands dirty and check out what’s really happening on the net) then your best place to start is http://www.ethereal.com/ .. it’s a free network protocol analyzer and bloody powerfull with it :)

Once you have that then how do you use the bloody thing?

If your clued up about the basics of networking then it’s pretty obvious but I’ve just seen a series of blogs that help you get started, which look good. I haven’t read them all the way through yet but I’m sure I will sometime .. have to admit I’m not looking forward to that time cos it’ll mean I’ve got networking issues :(

Spam

Filed under: Uncategorized — Dax++ @ 7:56 pm

I’m getting so much spam on this blog (and no it’s not just me) I’ve had to re-introduce user accounts - this will filter out the spam but will make it more difficult for people to comment. This shouldn’t be an issue as Ben is the only person that actually comments on ‘em :)
