    The Wireshark build seems to have finished while I was sleeping!

    It's beyond hilarious that @yoursunny might have been trolling when he suggested that Wireshark was my friend. Who but God can say what peoples' motivations are? But now, Wireshark seems to be here. Tshark too!

    We were granted Official Troll tag so …, but we do use Wireshark daily.
    Our Raspberry 400 desktop has four launcher icons on the taskbar, with Wireshark being one of them.

    However, we don't compile and run Wireshark on a server, because installing graphical application in the server increases attack surface and causes unpredictable performance for server applications.
    Instead, traffic is captured with either tcpdump or dumpcap command, and then transfered to local desktop to be analyzed.
    If real-time analysis is necessary, Wireshark can connect to dumpcap over SSH.
    Some software, such as NDN-DPDK, can generate .pcapng files to be analyzed by Wireshark.

    We published an article on how to write a Wireshark dissector plugin in Lua in 2008.
    Over the next decade, we coached students to write protocol dissectors, such as ndn.lua.

    Do you know whether the kernel patch you provided is included?

    It's not even in HEAD. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be much interest in this one (even tried pointing out on the mailing list that another VPS provider is also affected).

    That is pretty disappointing I have to say. I kind of expected that they'd be reacting on such an obvious problem pretty quickly especially since you provided them all the needed information with a bow on the top and it is completely preventing their product to be utilized.
