|
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
|
|
|
|
New and Updated Features
|
|
|
|
The following features are new (or have been significantly
|
|
updated) since version 1.12.0:
|
|
* The I/O Graph in the Gtk+ UI now supports an unlimited
|
|
number of data points (up from 100k).
|
|
* TShark now resets its state when changing files in
|
|
ring-buffer mode.
|
|
* Expert Info severities can now be configured.
|
|
* Wireshark now supports external capture interfaces.
|
|
External capture interfaces can be anything from a
|
|
tcpdump-over-ssh pipe to a program that captures from
|
|
proprietary or non-standard hardware. This functionality is
|
|
not available in the Qt UI yet.
|
|
* Qt port:
|
|
+ The Qt UI is now the default (program name is
|
|
wireshark).
|
|
+ A Polish translation has been added.
|
|
+ The Interfaces dialog has been added.
|
|
+ The interface list is now updated when interfaces
|
|
appear or disappear.
|
|
+ The Conversations and Endpoints dialogs have been
|
|
added.
|
|
+ A Japanese translation has been added.
|
|
+ It is now possible to manage remote capture
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
+ Windows: taskbar progress support has been added.
|
|
+ Most toolbar actions are in place and work.
|
|
+ More command line options are now supported
|
|
|

Major API Changes
|
|
|

The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
|
|
* Many of the ep_ and se_ memory allocation routines have
|
|
been removed.

|
|
removed. If you want to write dissectors in something other
|
|
than C, use Lua.

Getting Wireshark
|
|
|
|
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available
|
|
from [1]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 [2]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.
