would this still be illegal in Germany?
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
Whenever some product claims to be "award-winning", I always wonder what that award is. It's like the word "professional", that also lost its meaning. So, anybody have any pointers to any kind of "award"?
A dev after my own heart! I use it to capture ASP.NET web service requests as it's far easier to deal with than WSE3 tracing or serializing objects before passing them to the web proxy (which usually leaves you without namespaces anyway).
Over the years, I've found protocol analyzers to be indispensable for developing and debugging modern MS-based network apps. They hide so damned much from the developers these days, often times it's the only way to see what's really going on.
It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
Long story short: I had a SQL client app that tried to connect to the SQL server with a hard-coded password. I needed to know the password to set on the server. Fired up wireshark, found the password, set said password on the server, and it was a go.
