Good Headphones

I was pretty cold but my ears were fine. It reminded me that the headphones I typically wear while I word are so comfy.

These headphones are Sony MDR-V6. I bought them a couple years ago for about $60 and they are totally worth it.

They are super comfortable and have good audio characteristics.

Mine are normally plugged into my work Mac laptop and I’ll listen to high quality music streams, watch various videos, and leverage for online meetings.

I recommend these headphones.

Wireshark Dissector

Today I wrote my first Wireshark Dissector. I believe it was also my first day using the Lua programming language.

It was a pretty good experience. Much easier than I anticipated.

One specific item that was pleasantly easy was tying a lookup array to a variable (e.g. message flag codes to the message flag variable).

Perhaps there is a way, but I didn’t find it so that I could “reload” changes from my Dissector into an already open Wireshark. As it was, I ended up restarting Wireshark a lot and then reopening opening my pcap file.

While it is easy, given the protocol I was working with it started to become monotonous. However, it did pay as I was able to identify a difference in a problematic case.
