I had to let my baby go... off to the printers <insert sound of weeping mother
here>. What shall I do with myself this morning? Hmmm... I already cleaned off
my desk of all remnants of the book writing/editing process. I drafted up the book
website (that will be home to the trace files and book supplements).
Instinctively I launch Wireshark - heading out to get the latest development
release at www.wireshark.org/download/automated/. Ooooh... we're now on
version 1.3.4 SVN (subversion) 32095.
Wireshark was a moving target while I wrote the book and we're releasing the
book with features you won't even see if you don't load the development version
or wait until v1.4 comes out (hopefully in April).

Wireshark Network Analysis has Left the

Loading up the latest subversion I reminisced about the last six months of
examining each feature and working on descriptions and scenarios to depict the
most efficient use of that feature.
It's been a lot of work - puff, puff - but strangely enticing. Each morning I had a list
of features I would focus on that day. Each day I was able to marvel at
Wireshark's capabilities. Each day I created charts and graphs of amazing
network problems.
Oh... gotta go... that new development version of Wireshark is calling!

examining each feature and working on descriptions and scenarios to depict the
most efficient use of that feature.
- dissecting the expert information for all types of TCP issues including out-
of-order packets (which are sometimes retransmissions),
retransmissions vs. fast retransmissions, duplicate ACKs (and what
triggers them) - HTTPS decryption methods including the long and error prone key entry
in the preferences section and the best TCP preference settings to view
and filter on the SSL/TLS handshake - step-by-step procedures for application analysis methods to determine if
an application affected network browsing performance (I analyzed
Aptimize Website Accelerator running on Microsoft's Sharepoint website)
- graphing methods to illustrate the effect of this tuning product - building a table to show WLAN capture options - when do you want
promiscuous mode enabled/disabled and what can you "see" without
monitor mode capability - diagramming networks with NAT/PAT devices, firewalls, layer 2
switches, MPLS configurations and more - all in an effort to explain how
these devices affect the traffic - maintaining my new feature checklist to ensure I covered the new
Packet List pane, fabulous load times, ignore packets feature, Apply as
Column feature, etc. - keeping a master list of all the hot capture, display and color filters I've
built to catch and vividly show the traffic that really explains what's going
on - inventorying all the book trace files that are referenced in the Practice
What You've Learned section of each chapter - that was an undertaking!
