=== New and Updated Features

2018-02-16 23:28:29 +00:00
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
|
2018-04-02 19:23:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
since version 2.6.0:

|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-27 16:43:49 +00:00
|
|
|
|
* TShark now supports the `-G elastic-mapping` option which generates an ElasticSearch mapping file.
|
2018-05-24 18:35:45 +00:00
|
|
|
|
* The “Capture Information” dialog has been added back (wsbuglink:12004[]).
|
2018-06-27 17:21:58 +00:00
|
|
|
|
* The Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 dissectors no longer validate the frame check sequence (checksum) by default.

tcp: add support for reassembling out-of-order segments
Currently out-of-order segments will result in cutting a stream into
two pieces while the out-of-order segment itself is ignored. For
example, a stream of segments "ABDCE" is interpreted as "AB", "DE" with
"C" ignored. This behavior breaks TLS decryption or prevent application
layer PDUs (such as HTTP requests/responses) from being reconstructed.
To fix this, buffer segments when a gap is detected.
The proposed approach extends the "multi-segment PDU" (MSP) mechanism
which is normally used for linking multiple, sequential TCP segments
into a single PDU. When a gap is detected between segments, it is
assumed that the segments within this gap are out-of-order and will be
received (or retransmitted) later.
The current implementation has a limitation though, if multiple gaps
exist, then the subdissector will only be called when all gaps are
filled (the subdissector will receive segments later than necessary).
For example with "ACEBD", "ABC" can already be processed after "B" is
received (with "E" still buffered), but due to how MSP are extended, it
must receive "D" too before it reassembles "ABCDE". In practice this
could mean that the request/response times between HTTP requests and
responses are slightly off, but at least the stream is correct now.
(These limitations are documented in the User's Guide.)
As the feature fails at least the 802.11 decryption test where packets
are missing (instead of OoO), hide this feature behind a preference.
Tested with captures containing out-of-order TCP segments from the
linked bug reports, comparing the effect of toggling the preference on
the summary output of tshark, the verbose output (-V) and the two-pass
output (-2 or -2V). Captures marked with "ok" just needed "simple"
out-of-order handling. Captures marked with "ok2" additionally required
the reassembly API change to set the correct reassembled length.
This change does "regress" on bug 10289 though when the preference is
enabled as retransmitted single-segment PDUs are now passed to
subdissectors. I added a TODO comment for this unrelated cosmetic issue.
Bug: 3389 # capture 2907 (HTTP) ok
Bug: 4727 # capture 4590 (HTTP) ok
Bug: 9461 # capture 12130 (TLS/HTTP/RPC-over-HTTP +key 12131) ok
Bug: 12006 # capture 14236 (HTTP) ok2; capture 15261 (HTTP) ok
Bug: 13517 # capture 15370 (HTTP) ok; capture 16059 (MQ) ok
Bug: 13754 # capture 15593 (MySQL) ok2
Bug: 14649 # capture 16305 (WebSocket) ok

Switch from AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor.
Switch the markup text processor for files in the docbook directory from
AsciiDoc to Asciidoctor. Asciidoctor has several useful features (such
as direct PDF output) and is actively developed. It's written in Ruby
but that dependency can be sidestepped with AsciidoctorJ, a
self-contained bundle that only depends on the JRE.
The current toolchain targets require Python, AsciiDoc, DocBook XML,
DocBook XSL, Java, FOP, xsltproc, lynx, and the HTMLHelp compiler:
HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → FOP
HTMLHelp: AsciiDoc → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
This change removes the AsciiDoc and FOP requirements and adds either
AsciidoctorJ or Asciidoctor + Ruby:
HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
Chunked HTML: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL
PDF: Asciidoctor
HTMLHelp: Asciidoctor → DocBook XML → xsltproc + DocBook XSL → HHC
Ideally we could generate all of these using AsciidoctorJ, Java, and
lynx. Unfortunately we're not there yet.
The release notes depend on several macros (ws-buglink, ws-salink,
cve-idlink, sort-and-group). Add Asciidoctor (Ruby) equivalents.
Remove the BUILD_xxx_GUIDES CMake options and add various output targets
automatically. This means that you have to build the various documentation
targets explicitly.

=== 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
|

== 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.
