Game ~upd~ | Wireshark

The screen flickered once, twice, and then settled into the familiar, soothing grid of Wireshark. Alex had been staring at it for six hours. Packet #14,732, a stray ICMP echo request from an IP in the 10.0.0.0/8 range, blinked patiently. It wasn't supposed to be there. The corporate network was a clean, militarized zone—everything firewalled, every port accounted for. But this packet was a ghost.

A game? Alex’s fingers danced across the keyboard, applying a display filter. ip.src == 10.0.0.47 . The packets resolved into a neat sequence. Each one carried a simple instruction. level=1;user=guest;move=N . Then level=1;user=guest;move=E . Then move=S . Then move=S again. Someone was navigating a grid. A maze. wireshark game
