On Saturday I leave North Carolina to head to Sunnyvale, California for…… (insert drumroll here)… SharkFest!  I’m am so pumped and excited!  I have wanted to attend SharkFest since 2009 when I first learned about it!  I’m finally going!  Woot woot!

It is not uncommon that I find myself having to explain what SharkFest is… even to diehard WireShark users and enthusiasts.  So let me take a step back and explain what SharkFest is.

What is SharkFest?

SharkFest™, launched in 2008, is a series of annual educational conferences staged in various parts of the globe and focused on sharing knowledge, experience and best practices among the Wireshark® developer and user communities.

SharkFest attendees hone their skills in the art of packet analysis by attending lecture and lab-based sessions delivered by the most seasoned experts in the industry. Wireshark core code contributors also gather during the conference days to enrich and evolve the tool to maintain its relevance in ensuring the productivity of modern networks.
