Life Imitates Art If you liked the super-cool interface used by the teen slackers in the movie, Hackers, then you must check out David Massey's "Gibson" packet analyzer. Crank up his Winpcap-based tool, and you can fly around your network decode landscape. Who says network admin is boring. BTW, if you read down the page on MGMUA's movie site, you'll note a rather interesting debate surrounding whether or not the publishers of the hacker movie site "hacked" their own server.
