2014-05-11 19:16:39 +00:00
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
|
|
since version 1.10:
|
|
|
|
* Wireshark now uses the Qt application framework. The new UI should
|
|
|
|
provide a significantly better user experience, particularly on Mac
|
|
|
|
OS X and Windows.
|
|
|
|
* The Windows installer now uninstalls the previous version of
|
|
|
|
Wireshark silently. You can still run the uninstaller manually
|
|
|
|
beforehand if you wish to run it interactively.
|
|
|
|
* Expert information is now filterable when the new API is in use.
|
|
|
|
* The "Number" column shows related packets and protocol conversation
|
|
|
|
spans (Qt only).
|
|
|
|
* When manipulating packets with editcap using the -C <choplen>
|
|
|
|
and/or -s <snaplen> options, it is now possible to also adjust the
|
|
|
|
original frame length using the -L option.
|
|
|
|
* You can now pass the -C <choplen> option to editcap multiple times,
|
|
|
|
which allows you to chop bytes from the beginning of a packet as
|
|
|
|
well as at the end of a packet in a single step.
|
2013-11-01 09:55:26 +00:00
|
|
|
* You can now specify an optional offset to the -C option for
|
2014-05-11 19:16:39 +00:00
|
|
|
editcap, which allows you to start chopping from that offset
|
|
|
|
instead of from the absolute packet beginning or end.
|
|
|
|
* "malformed" display filter has been renamed to "_ws.malformed". A
|
|
|
|
handful of other filters have been given the "_ws." prefix to note
|
|
|
|
they are Wireshark application specific filters and not dissector
|
|
|
|
filters.
|
|
|
|
* The Kerberos dissector has been replaced with an auto generated one
|
|
|
|
from ASN1 protocol description, changing a lot of filter names.

Getting Wireshark

|
|
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from

Vendor-supplied Packages
|
|
|
|
|
2014-05-11 19:16:39 +00:00
|
|
|
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
|
|
|
|
can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
|
|
|
|
system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
|
|
|
|
found on the [6]download page on the Wireshark web site.

File Locations
|
|
|
|
|
2014-05-11 19:16:39 +00:00
|
|
|
Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
|
|
|
|
files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations
|
|
|
|
vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
|
|
|
|
default locations on your system.
