New and Updated Features

2018-03-15 20:46:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
2019-07-28 08:20:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
2020-11-15 19:00:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
since version 3.4.0:
|

|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-06 09:14:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• TCP conversations now support a completeness criteria, which
|
|
|
|
|
facilitates the identification of TCP streams having any of
|
|
|
|
|
opening or closing handshakes, a payload, in any combination. It
|
|
|
|
|
is accessed with the new tcp.completeness filter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2020-11-15 19:00:02 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• Protobuf fields that are not serialized on the wire (missing in
|
|
|
|
|
capture files) can now be displayed with default values by
|
|
|
|
|
setting the new 'add_default_value' preference. The default
|
|
|
|
|
values might be explicitly declared in 'proto2' files, or false
|
|
|
|
|
for bools, first value for enums, zero for numeric types.

2020-12-06 09:14:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
• Wireshark now supports reading Event Tracing for Windows (ETW). A
|
|
|
|
|
new extcap named ETW reader is created that now can open an etl
|
|
|
|
|
file, convert all events in the file to DLT_ETW packets and write
|
|
|
|
|
to a specified FIFO destination. Also, a new packet_etw dissector
|
|
|
|
|
is created to dissect DLT_ETW packets so Wireshark can display
|
|
|
|
|
the DLT_ETW packet header, its message and packet_etw dissector
|
|
|
|
|
calls packet_mbim sub_dissector if its provider matches the MBIM
|
|
|
|
|
provider GUID.

|
|
|
|
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
|
2020-10-25 09:14:23 +00:00
|
|
|
|
be found on the download page[1] on the Wireshark web site.

|
Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for
|
2018-12-12 23:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
preference files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These
|
2020-09-15 20:56:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
locations vary from platform to platform. You can use About → Folders
|
|
|
|
|
to find the default locations on your system.
