Wireshark's creator here. Waking up to everyone's kind words and reminiscing made my morning. Thanks!


Thanks for all the troubles shot with Wireshark over the years!

Sadly, I've largely stopped using it because it appears to be unable to keep up with the data rates typically seen from servers these days. I believe the analysis is single-threaded, and doesn't seem to cache anything either. It struggles with captures "mere" gigabytes in size, which is just seconds on a 10 Gbps link.


You deserve it! You made something awesome that's been incredibly useful for a ton of people, myself included!


You’ve saved my bacon on too many occasions to mention. Thank you.
