|
|

|
|
|
== What is Wireshark?
|
|
|

Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer. It is
|
|
used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.

=== New and Updated Features
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
|
since version 2.2.0:
|
|
|
|
* Experimental 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Installer (.msi) packages are available.
|
|
It is recommended that you use these independently of the NSIS (.exe) installers.
|
|
That is, you should make sure the NSIS package is completely uninstalled before
|
|
installing the Windows Installer package and vice-versa.
|
|
* Source packages are now compressed using xz instead of bzip2.
|
|
* GTK+ is disabled by default in Autotools and CMake.
|
|
* SS7 Point Codes can now be resolved into names with a hosts-like file.
|
|
* Wireshark can now go fullscreen to have more room for packets.
|
|
* TShark can now export objects like the other GUI interfaces.

|
== Getting Wireshark
|
|
|
|
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
|
|
https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
|
|
|
|
=== 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 https://www.wireshark.org/download.html#thirdparty[download page]
|
|
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.
|
|
|
