Such a great article, true Hacker News material. Does not assume much knowledge about the field, yet still allows for a much deeper understanding of mechanics involved.
Agreed. Brilliant, and as someone who has been looking for accessible (for numerates) ways of learning about these such things I can't thank the poster enough.
I agree. I have meddled with wireshark time and again but never really got around to digging deep enough to understand what's exactly going on. I found this article to really fulfill my desire to understand the output of wireshark. It does a really good job of explaining what's going on. Much appreciated!
And now excuse me, i have to have a look at what happens when authenticating with my wlan router at the same level of depth :)
