Packet-sniffing techie uncovers spousal infidelity | The Register

From the "don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to" department, via The Register: Packet-sniffing techie uncovers spousal infidelity. Not that Ethereal is hazerdous to your relationships, but if your spouse is into open source networking tools, perhaps you should make sure you're clean.

Technology has been instrumental in ending yet another long-standing relationship. Hot on the heels of tales of a woman who blames a bug in Firefox for exposing the flaws in her relationship with a fiancé and a man whose relationship was hit by the spam filtering shortcomings of Thunderbird, comes the story of a software programmer who unearthed evidence of his partner's infidelity using Ethereal, the packet sniffing software.
