PranaFlux··on Unpacking Cloudflare Workers CPU Performance Benchmarks
Grab the popcorn, the Vercel v Cloudflare drama unfolds
PranaFlux··on React: Why We Built an Elite Incident Response Team
"In Q2’25 alone, Cloudflare stopped an average of 190 billion cyber threats every single day."

Are they counting a single packet a threat? Would like to get the methodology to calculate what's a threat. It seems too large

Thanks!

I added a Load sample button so you can test it easily
PranaFlux··on Show HN: Traceroute Visualizer
Happy you like it!

Much appreciated!

You can now use your windows tracert outputs directly!
PranaFlux··on Show HN: Traceroute Visualizer
Added :)
PranaFlux··on Show HN: Traceroute Visualizer
Done! Feel free to use tracert outputs now!

Would you mind sharing the link (after removing the data you don't want to share)? I'm using IPInfo's data and each hop IP is the end of a segment so it's normal it doesn't follow your expected topology (to which we can add the limitations of traceroute)

Thanks for the feedback! It's true that the first's job is to visualize - we can read the details after
PranaFlux··on Show HN: Traceroute Visualizer
The aim was to scratch an itch which was to try to visually see what is going on with my packets when going to a given website. Of course it's not perfectly reliable (due to geoip loc or hops not answering / using link IPs) nor does it claim to be.

I didn't add support for tracert. Will do that and report back!
PranaFlux··on Privacy Badger is a free browser extension made by EFF to stop spying
Privacy Badger has been around for YEARS and doesn't cover a lot of cases. Use uBlock Origin instead.
PranaFlux··on Show HN: SharkMCP, a Tshark MCP Server
Absolutely!

It's really a tshark wrapper to make it available for LLMs so any capture filter will work. The display filter also accepts any Wireshark accepted filter.

You can also "just" use it to analyse a pcap if you don't need to record traffic as well as pass an SSLKEYLOG file for the decryption.

PranaFlux··on Front end, back end, and database – now in one Cloudflare Worker
Yes, the free trier is pretty generous and the paid (5$) is more than enough for the vast majority of people.

Finally! It was a pain to have to manage the SSG in a Pages instance and the backend in a separate worker. Working with LLMs made it a pain as well. Should be better now!
PranaFlux··on Show HN: Cloud IP Ranges
Where are those list coming from? BGP data? ASN data? From feeds published by the orgs?

Seems there are some discrepancies. Nice website on Ruby <3

PranaFlux··on Why is PostHog so in vogue?
They have some doc about it: https://posthog.com/docs/migrate/mixpanel
PranaFlux··on Why is PostHog so in vogue?
Have you considered moving over to PostHog given this disparity in features or for your usecase Mixpanel is suitable (especially now with the price reduction)

Thanks for the detailed points! The new hot stuff basically

Ok this is really nice! We love alternatives to invidious.

Are there any public servers?

PranaFlux··on Favicon Hasher – An Osint Tool
This free online tool helps you analyze website favicons and generate various hash formats used by popular search engines and security tools. Enter a domain or URL below to analyze its favicon.

Seems nice. I've tried a couple examples and compared them to other websites like it, it works better. I don't have a Shodan account so I can't check it works well with it.

What do you guys think?
