Karma is a bitch, isn't it?
Would you pick a fight with somebody bigger than you?
If you do, and you get pounded into pulp, do you expect sympathy?

ethereal, tcpdump, nmap, kismet are my favorites (Score:4, Interesting)
Personally, I use nmap quite often to examine my own systems and make sure services are up or that firewalls are blocking the right ports. I also use tcpdump (and, for more complex tasks, ethereal) very often when debugging network problems. Kismet, of course, is a tool no geek should be without. On almost any long car trip, kismet+gpsd+gpsdrive are running, logging networks.
It's freaking awesome that all these tools are available for free. Three cheers for their authors.

Nope, no sympathy AT ALL. None.
