| Wireshark History in 3 Minutes code_swarm |
Posted: 2010-02-10 09:19:54 UTC-07:00
www.vimeo.com/9329501. Don't worry... I'll wait right here until you return...
This is by far one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time. Created by Loris
Degioanni (creator of WinPcap), this video visually represents the Wireshark
development process from its inception using a tool called code_swarm.
The video shows an organic information visualization (a term coined by Ben Fry)
which "eschews traditional data confinement in space and lets the elements
play together in free form and unpredictable ways."
The result is stunning!
Code_Swarm
Visit vis.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ogawa/codeswarm/ for more information on
code_swarm and to see the visualizations for the following projects:
Additional project videos can be found at code.google.
com/p/codeswarm/wiki/Gallery.
The Wireshark project on January 1999
You can see when specific areas of a project are HOT. For example, in
Wireshark's code_swarm there are moments when everyone is focused on the
dissectors (shown in light blue) - the image radiates a halo of light blue as
dissector code is checked in (like stars flying in). At other times, feverish work
was being done on the GTK (Graphical Toolkit) to make Wireshark more user
friendly.
Release files are indicated in red. Sudden red bursts can be seen when version
is released. A legend in the upper left corner helps the viewer understand what
parts of the project are most active at any time. Names flash when that
developer checks in code. The histogram at the bottom of the screen indicates
the size and time of commits to the project.
The legend helps understand the focus of the project.
In June 2006 all hell breaks loose when Wireshark is born of Ethereal. The
histogram goes wild with commits and you can see all the work being done to
change the name to Wireshark - in the manuals, in the dissectors, in the plugins
- everywhere.
I showed the various code_swarm videos to my kids when they came home from
school today. Their first reaction - "Whoa... that's cool!" Second reaction from my
son - "Do you think they have something like that for WoW?" Sigh....
The supernova of development as Wireshark is born.
Their final reaction really hit me (after living on 3 hours sleep a night trying to
finish the Wireshark Network Analysis book and try to catch the features and
capabilities of this celestial moving target) - "It looks like the project is a black
hole sucking in the life around it."
Good observation.
