For those not in the social media space, the following news item popped up yesterday:
ACM named Gerald C. Combs recipient of the 2018 ACM Software System Award for creating the Wireshark network protocol analyzer, an essential tool for nearly anyone who designs, deploys, analyzes and troubleshoots the wide range of network protocols that tie the internet together, and for continued leadership of the international Wireshark developer community. Wireshark became the most commonly used system for visually analyzing network protocol traffic.
