Think you can find the needle in the packet-stack? 🕵️♂️ We’ve always believed that the best way to learn Arkime is through hands-on experience. Today, we’re making that easier with the launch of our first ever CTF at https://ctf.arkime.com. This CTF is simple and should take less than 15 minutes. This is just the beginning. This is the first of many planned challenges, and our goal is to build a library of scenarios that help users master network analysis at every level. We need your honest input to make this better: * Give the CTF a spin: https://ctf.arkime.com * Join our Slack: https://lnkd.in/e_Qy3tfG * Tell us what you think: What did you like? What did you not like? What should we add next? We want to build this with the community, so don’t hold back, your feedback (the good and the bad!) is exactly what will shape future challenges. #Arkime #DFIR #NetworkSecurity #CTF #OpenSource #PacketCapture #CyberTraining

It's a TUI! You know, for Arkime!!!
Another thing I love about Arkime 6 is Alkeme, our new TUI! At times I feel like Norville from The Hudsucker Proxy: "It’s a TUI! You know, for Arkime!" I’m genuinely excited about it and amazed by what it can do. I usually work on Alkeme when the next Arkime release is "baking." When I say "work on," I really mean I tell Opus what to do. It has written ALL of Alkeme; I don't even know Rust. I don't want to turn this into yet another LinkedIn post about AI, but I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about all of this. I've always thought that when building "protocols/RPCs," it is super important to have multiple implementations. It forces you to make sure you have a solid specification, handle varied interactions, and ultimately creates a better product. Back when I was working on AIM/ICQ, having multiple clients and libraries naturally led us to better specifications. When we didn't write specs, boy howdy did those client developers create some crazy, non-interoperable things. I'm not sure why it took me so long to finally create an Arkime TUI. One of the silliest things I ever built was "TAC," a console client for AIM. My coworker Bob even built "TNT," an Emacs client for AIM. Alkeme (thanks Phil Hagen for the name!) gives us a second client to test the Arkime backends with. It allows us to quickly explore other possible interfaces and build a fun new system for interacting with the data. Some of the visual items are a challenge to implement in a TUI, so I'm debating whether or not to use one of the image protocols. While Alkeme isn't feature-complete yet, it is already super powerful. I hope you give it a try!! https://arkime.com/alkeme P.S. Since Bob built an Emacs client for AIM... should "we" be building an Arkime client for Emacs next? #Arkime #NetworkSecurity #TUI
