Reading TCP dumps for fun and occasionally profit

2026-06-15

The documentation was correct, it just described a version nobody runs anymore. Most of the time went into reading logs, which is how it usually goes.

After a week of this I went back to the old approach and wrote down why. The setup is simple: static files, a small server, and a cron job I am slightly afraid of.

Comments are off; if something here is wrong, email me and I will fix it. I tried the obvious solution first and it worked, which never happens.
