    Having myself been invited to join AARP (the most powerful lobby in US, google it) for a few years now I can attest that unfortunately some old people just can't learn internet, ev…

    Yep. I tried to avoid mentioning this in a polite company :).

    I finally found the way to watch the presentation (BTW it's good), and the author mentions femtocell hacking as "if you hack femtocells you _may_ have a chance to have access to SS…

    The Verizon vuln referenced above seems has nothing to do with SS7. Femtocell is rooted, and only cell phones in a close proximity are vulnerable. I thought the presentation in Han…

    All TDM and Sigtran signaling links of world-wide SS7 network are configured manually peer-to-peer. The signaling traffic including SMS texts travels mostly unencrypted. Hence it's…

    The only remarkable thing about this NYT article is that it appeared at all. Read Charlse Murray "Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010".

    The guy graduated from the same high-school a few years ahead of me (Moscow School 91). Me and my classmates had our ears full on how great he was from our homeroom teacher (yes, w…

    You can now download the .msi installer separately. Not sure it'll make Chrome happy. If you want the folder with Pcap example files, download Ubuntu version, and tar xvf it. It st…

    It's not. I use Chrome all the time. It may be the zip file which spooks it. The zip contains an .msi file + a folder with pcap examples. If you wait a couple of hours, I'll put a …

    You can install from any folder, not only your home folder. Most package installations under Linux do require sudo privileges, so WireEdit is in no way unique. You password is SAFE…

    Yeh. I added it after the above question was asked. It was asked once, so it obviusly belongs to a FAQ.

    One would think so. I'm certainly curious how much people use the tool. Wouldn't you? However in anticipation of security concerns the software doesn't gather any info, and makes n…

    You'd have to make an intelligent decision without access to full information. Isn't it often like that in life? As an engineer myself, I'd respect any decision you make.

    I'm afraid there is no such thing. Even open source products have critical security bugs as you may very well know. If you do just a bit of research you can find who I am, and wher…

    I know. Sorry. Can't fix at the moment, will do later. Try to decrease the width of the browser, the video frame will decrease proportionally. Hope that helps.

    Privacy policy added to the website FAQ. No data is gathered, no connections to the outside, except for a WINE repository for Ubuntu install.

    No competition with WireShark is intended. WireEdit is a packet editor, not an analyzer. Can as easily edit a .txt Hex dump of a packet (not yet supported, but easy to do).

    1) Have Ubuntu12.04x32 with hacked WINE working as well. Let me know if you need it. 2) No source indeed. 3) Privacy policy is stated in the EULA. I'll repeat it here: "No info is …
