No more need of Wireshark. Great ! When it works (and one way or another is usually does), Pharo is a great/excellent tool for doing all sorts of network, binary and bit hacking. A thousand times more practical and useful than low level languages: you have great interactivity, discoverability and debug capabilities in a super environment where you can really work with objects (and thus bytes, bits and byte arrays).
+1 Years ago I implemented a client (in VB6) for a proprietary binary feed, but because I didn't have the server available, I was able to implement the interface with Smalltalk. Being able to inspect the contents of a socket, and iterate as you like is a true advantage. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo
