One of the cool things about the computing industry is that many of its pioneers are still around to share their knowledge and stories. I'm beyond excited that Vint Cerf is going to speak at SharkFest again.

It pops up now and then: Why should you not run #Wireshark as Administrator/root. There are quite a few reasons for that, but a very good discussion about this topic has been written quite a while ago by @PacketJay and I just wanted to bring it up again:
