Wireshark is the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer. It isused for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.

Legacy OS support. Windows 98, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 2008, 7. Download Old Version of Wireshark for Windows 2000. Wireshark 1.6.4released to fix bug crashes if. Wireshark is software that 'understands' the structure of different networking protocols. Thus, it is able to display the encapsulation and the fields along with their meanings of different packets specified by different networking protocols.

Wireshark 2.0 features a completely new user interface which should provide asmoother, faster user experience. The new interface should be familiar tocurrent users of Wireshark but provide a faster workflow for many tasks.

The Windows installer provides the option of installing either the newinterface (“Wirehsark”) or the old interface (“Wireshark Legacy”).Both are installed by default. Note that the legacy interface will beremoved in Wireshark 2.2.

The OS X installer only provides the new interface. If you need theold interface you can install it via Homebrew or MacPorts.

Wireshark’s Debian- and RPM-based package definitions provide the newinterface in the “wireshark-qt” package and the old interface in the“wireshark-gtk” package. It is hoped that downstream distributions willfollow this convention.

Wireshark is able to display the format of some types of files (rather thandisplaying the contents of those files). This is useful when you’re curiousabout, or debugging, a file and its format. To open a capture file (such asPCAP) in this mode specify 'MIME Files Format' as the file’s format in theOpen File dialog.

New files that Wireshark can open in this mode include:

BTSNOOP,PCAP,and PCAPNG

Additionally, Wireshark now supports nanosecond timestamp resolution in PCAP-NG files.

Androiddump support now provides interfaces to capture (Logcat, Bluetooth andWiFi) from connected Android devices.

The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:

• The emem framework (including all ep_ and se_ memory allocation routines) hasbeen completely removed in favour of wmem which is now fully mature.
• The (long-since-broken) Python bindings support has been removed. Ifyou want to write dissectors in something other than C, use Lua.
• Plugins can now create GUI menu items.
• Heuristic dissectors can now be globally enabled/disabled soheur_dissector_add() has a few more parameters to make that possible
• proto_tree_add_text has been removed.
• tvb_length() has been removed in favor of tvb_reported_length() andtvb_captured_length().
• The API for ONC RPC-based dissectors has changed significantly: theprocedure dissectors no longer take an offset, void-argument proceduresnow need to be declared with a function (use dissect_rpc_void()), andrpc_init_prog() now handles procedure registration too (it takesadditional arguments to handle this; rpc_init_proc_table() was removed).

Wireshark source code and installation packages are available fromhttps://www.wireshark.org/download.html.

Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You canusually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management systemspecific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be foundon the download pageon the Wireshark web site.

Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preferencefiles, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations varyfrom platform to platform. You can use About→Folders to find the defaultlocations on your system.

Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes.(Bug 1419)

The BER dissector might infinitely loop.(Bug 1516)

Capture filters aren’t applied when capturing from named pipes.(Bug 1814)

Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works.(Bug 2234)

Resolving (Bug 9044) reopens (Bug 3528) so that Wiresharkno longer automatically decodes gzip data when following a TCP stream.

Application crash when changing real-time option.(Bug 4035)
