While not quite as slow and painstaking a whittling, the process of slowly peeling back packets is also reductive. Yes, I know that’s a weird transition, but it’s true. I think about whittling often when I need to use a lot of filters to find the data I want in a packet capture. In either case, the transformation is quite impressive. It might wind up as a toy for a child or a game call for a hunting trip. A craftsman chooses a lifeless piece of scrap wood and slowly carves slivers off of it until it takes an impressive form. Whittling is a lost art, but it’s a beautiful process.
