|
||
|
||
This is an experimental release intended to test new features for Wireshark 3.4.
|
||
|
||
== What is Wireshark?
|
||
|
||
Wireshark is the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer.
|
||
It is used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.
|
||
|
||
== What’s New

||
|
||
Many improvements have been made.
|
||
See the “New and Updated Features” section below for more details.
|
||
|
||
// === Bug Fixes
|
||
|
||
// The following bugs have been fixed:
|

||
//* wsbuglink:5000[]
|
||
//* wsbuglink:6000[Wireshark bug]

|
||
|
||
=== New and Updated Features
|
||
|
||
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
||
since version 3.2.0:
|
||
|
||
* Windows executables and installers are now https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4472027/2019-sha-2-code-signing-support-requirement-for-windows-and-wsus[signed using SHA-2 only].
|
||
* Save RTP stream to .au supports any codec with 8000 Hz rate supported by Wireshark (shown in RTP player). If save of audio is not possible (unsupported codec or rate), silence of same length is saved and warning is shown.
|
||
* C-ares is now a required dependency.
|
||
* Protobuf fields can be dissected as wireshark (header) fields that allows user input
|
||
the full names of Protobuf fields or messages in Filter toolbar for searching.
|
||
* Dissector based on Protobuf can register itself to a new 'protobuf_field' dissector table,
|
||
which is keyed with the full names of fields, for further parsing fields of BYETS or STRING type.
|
||
* Wireshark is able to decode, play and save iLBC payload on platforms where iLBC library (https://github.com/TimothyGu/libilbc) is available.

== Getting Wireshark

|
||
|
||
=== Vendor-supplied Packages
|
||
|
||
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 Wireshark web site.
|
||
|
||
== File Locations
|
||
|
||
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.
