Awesome channel! Brings back good memories of my time as a Turbofan Test Engineer for Lockheed and Rolls-Royce from 2004-2012. We had serval proprietary protocols that we needed to troubleshoot, but didn't have documentation for. So, I spent several months using Wireshark and creating custom dissectors for it, and eventually built some tools to help us solve many issues within minutes that used to take us days or weeks to narrow down and resolve. Keep up the great work!

@@bordeux, I even ended up creating an Android client so we could see the data being transmitted, instead of having one person in the control room and another 1/4 miles away on the jet engine. Using that Android app allowed just one person to do both the monitoring and troubleshooting in real-time.

I have used wireshark many times for debugging, 99% of the video was stuff I already knew. But holy crap, right click and "Apply as Filter" - how on earth did I miss that? I wasted so much time digging through documentation to find out how to express those filters manually... thank you so much! It's also super helpful that you show how you mess up by filtering on the wrong thing, and then correct it; I probably would've made the same mistake.

You are correct. Private IP addresses are non-routable. I liked the information at the end. I would like to know how you transitioned that into the hardware side of things. I’d like to see some of the other tools you have for hardware capture and debugging, jtag, or if you have bus pirate…etc. Thanks. Your videos are great. Keep up the good work.

Ooo, I try not to nitpick, but sometimes I can't help myself. At 5:06 where you talked about DHCP only working on the ... (pause)... "local subnet". The term you wanted is more like "layer II broadcast domain". Subnets are a layer-III concept and there can be multiple concurrent subnets on top of the same layer-II network. DHCP works across layer-II (to/from MAC address) and indeed there should only be one on the same layer-II broadcast domain. DHCP actually CAN traverse to other layer-II LANS (usually VLANs) and offer additional subnets on those VLANs by way of a "DHCP-relay" server, but that's another story :) Keep up the good work and great job making yout mitmrouter scripts public.

@tommyt6232 ай бұрын
NOT trying to be that "ACKTYUALLY" guy but Im pretty sure thats conditional. Its the norm but its not absolute. DHCP is first come first serve and competing servers on the same broadcast domain can have completely different scopes ergo subnets of a network. Rig the client with a delay against the 1st server on a subnet and it leases only with the 2nd, etc. DHCP doesnt *always* use the same broadcast domain.
@pete38972 ай бұрын
@@tommyt623 excellent corner-case example @tommyt623! My correction - one should not have multiple DHCP servers on the same layer-II broadcast domain unless the servers are offering differing scopes and you're happy for any clients to get their config somewhat randomly from either scope.

Matt, as usual, great content and very fluid with discovery step by step. It is always amazing to see the IP addresses going to servers in different countries. Have you noticed any trends on different devices going to the same IP? Who knows? Maybe a shark, ring camera, and Bluetooth scale are all pinging the same server! 😅 Thank you again for sharing your skills!

DHCP is broadcast on the local subnet. The DHCP server doesn't need to reside on that subnet however. I believe a BOOTP relay agent can take the DHCP request and forward that on to the IP of the DHCP server,. Then the offer, request and acknowledgement takee place as normal.

You mentioned ICMP response in case on TCP connection rejection. But you skipped to say the same for UDP connection as well. In both cases it's true if connection attempt is performed in LAN, without routing and when traffic is not firewalled.

Most of the time Alibaba cloud servers are actually in Hong Kong. I'm guessing they probably have edge infrastructure in the US though but I'd almost wager without a doubt the main servers are in Hong Kong.
