fraggleBefore Wireshark, originally called Ethereal, packet sniffing was largely the domain of command line tools like tcpdump. Released in 1988, tcpdump gave users a raw, text based way to inspect network traffic. It was powerful, but also opaque and hard to master, especially for newcomers. You had to know exactly what you were looking for, and interpreting the data meant sifting through walls of cryptic output.Then came Wireshark.It brought a graphical interface to the world of packet analysis and made deep network inspection far more accessible. Users could visually follow TCP streams, filter by protocol, decode packets in real time, and dissect application level data with ease. Wireshark didn't just make packet sniffing easier, it changed how people learned networking and security. Today it is one of the most widely used tools for education, ethical hacking, malware analysis, and protocol development.From dorm rooms to data centers, Wireshark made network hacking look good and work better.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/wireshark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wireshark</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/tcpdump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tcpdump</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/packetsniffing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PacketSniffing</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/networksecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetworkSecurity</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/infosectools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InfosecTools</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hackinghistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HackingHistory</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a>

fraggleBefore malware, ransomware, and state-sponsored cyberattacks, there was the Creeper virus. Created in 1971 by Bob Thomas, Creeper wasn’t designed to cause harm. Instead, it hopped between computers on ARPANET, displaying the message: "I’m the creeper, catch me if you can!" It was more of an experiment than a threat, but it led to the creation of Reaper, the first antivirus software, which sought out and removed Creeper. Today, the stakes are much higher, but it all started as a harmless joke.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hackinghistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HackingHistory</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techtrivia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechTrivia</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Malware</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/antivirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antivirus</a>

fraggleIn 2003, a group of Swedish activists launched The Pirate Bay, a BitTorrent tracker meant to fight for free access to information. What started as a small project quickly turned into the world’s most notorious file-sharing site. Despite endless legal battles, raids, and shutdown attempts, The Pirate Bay refuses to die. A long standing symbol of digital rebellion. <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/piracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Piracy</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/thepiratebay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThePirateBay</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/freeinternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeInternet</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hackinghistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HackingHistory</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/digitalfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DigitalFreedom</a>
