New York Times: How Secure is your WiFi Connection?
That attitude spilled over to a “From the Desk of David Pogue” e-column I wrote in 2004, in which I attempted to throw water on scare-tactic computer-magazine articles that said, in effect: “Ooooh! If you use your Wi-Fi laptop at public Internet hot spots, the bad guys will see everything you’re doing and rifle through your files!” I’m back again today to throw that water right back into my own face. On this topic, my eyes have been opened.

Slate: How do you fix and undersea cable?
First, the telecom operator has to locate the part of the cable that's no longer working. Cable engineers can figure out the general neighborhood of the problem based on the reported phone or Internet service outages. From terminal stations on shore, they can zero in on more specific coordinates by sending light pulses along the fibers in the cable. A working fiber will transmit those pulses all the way across the ocean, but a broken one will bounce it back from the site of the damage. By measuring the time it takes for the reflections to come back, the engineers can figure out where along the cable they have a problem.

And the tool they use for deep-sea packet sniffing? Wireshark, of course. (Rimshot)

NetPerformance.com: Analyzing Network Data for Capacity Planning
Perhaps the most crucial decision to be made is the set of metrics to be analyzed. For example, depending on whether the focus is on finding existing bottlenecks or predicting future ones, different metrics may be applicable. Determining which network links may become congested in the future (but are not so now) can be done by trending utilization percentages.

For example, if your network shoots up to 100% utilization whenever Red Vs. Blue releases a new episode, that may be something to look into.
