The first section on the homepage doesn’t give me a good sense of what the application does. The references to Wireshark suggest it has something to do with network traffic but that doesn’t seem to be the case. It also talks about cloud but nothing seems to be cloud-specific?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if we can make the top of the site more descriptive.

Update: Changed the first sentence to "Stratoshark lets you explore and analyze applications at the system call level using a mature, proven interface based on Wireshark.

So, DTrace with Wireshark UI?

[geraldcombs]

We don't share any code with DTrace, but it's not a bad analogy. As with my other reply about strace, it'd be interesting to see if we can more closely integrate Stratoshark, strace, and DTrace in the same way that Wireshark integrates with tcpdump.

The blog article is a bit more descriptive : https://sysdig.com/blog/stratoshark-extending-wiresharks-leg...

tl;dr version: system calls, but in the wireshark ui. (I've probably oversimplified that!)

Thanks for your work! Been using Wireshark for many years after it was used for a network course in university.

Why do you focus on "what happens in your cloud" when we talk about system calls? It'd seem it's useful for any machine, is it just bad marketing copy or am I missing something?

[geraldcombs]

You're welcome! It was initially developed as part of my day job at Sysdig, a cloud security company. The initial feature set and use cases focus on getting .scaps (system call and log captures) from cloud environments, but you're entirely correct -- this has much more general applications including troubleshooting and education just like Wireshark does on the networking side.

Hey Gerald, It's Chris from the CACE days. Nice to hear from you. I see this is part of wireshark proper, I'll look into getting this into debian

[geraldcombs]

Thanks! It's great to hear from you!

Thanks for confirming and thanks again for the amazing work.
