Wireshark :) - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trywireshark.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trywireshark.com</a><p>It’s a departure from software for me. From the site:<p>Wireshark is a patent pending wiring system which lets experts and novices complete projects faster and at a lower cost with professional results every time. It&#x27;s designed to be usable by anyone as a modern alternative to traditional wiring methods. Wireshark can be used for high and low voltage wires and ensures projects are up to electrical code.
