Welcome to the world Stratoshark!

In this video we interview the creator of Wireshark - Gerald Combs. He tells us about Wireshark's new baby brother, why it was needed, what visibility gap it fills, and how to download it.

You can install Stratoshark by going to stratoshark.org
Note you can download a sample scap (note, not pcap!) and follow along as Gerald guides us through this new syscall/log analyzer!

Thanks Gerald and congrats to you and the Wireshark Foundation for this new release.
