One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world is if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.
The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

Does anyone have a "stricken #Chromecast" and is able to create a #pcap of some failing communication? I'd be interested to look at the packets and use them in my "Troubleshooting #TLS with #Wireshark" classes :-)
Sharing is appreciated!

Not a big leap from this to: “The U.S. is discussing the possibility of cutting EU countries’ access to M365 if Brussels doesn’t agree to [insane Trump demand].”
Still think this is some extremely-unlikely, fringe hypothetical?

Hear hear... but small donations also help, we don't want to make #Wireshark commercial, but it does seem silly so many companies depend on us, but don't realize we need to cover our costs somehow.

If you ever need to share a pcap(ng) file, but don't want to leak sensitive information, Tracewrangler is the tool for you. By default it removes all info above L4 and anonymizes L1/2/3. But you can tune it to work just the way you want it.
Go check it out!

Just released a new version of Tracewrangler at www.tracewrangler.com. Some minor bug fixes, and it can now read & write Linux Cooked Capture v2 headers, so those kind of #pcap files can now be sanitized as well. Not a big thing, but I'm slowly getting into coding again it seems...
