Tools of the Trade - Now with Color Safe Bleach!

Color-safe bleach lets those black hats stay black...and those white hats stay white.

1) Just a little note about the Nmap 4.20 Alpha 11. Shortly after installing the alpha, I did a quick test and it didn't seem to work. I had to run, but I told myself to look into the issue later. As it turns out, the alpha install also seem to mess up my fresh Wireshark 0.99.4. ...this only points to one thing - Winpcap.

If you see the follow problem, just uninstall Winpcap and re-install Winpcap 4.0 beta 2 and you should be ok.
