Gisteren is versie 1.03 van de opensource 'protocol analyzer' en packet sniffer Wireshark uitgebracht. Dit programma werd eerst onder de naam Ethereal uitgebracht, maar toen hoofdontwikkelaar en stichter Gerald Combs het bedrijf NIS verruilde voor Cace Technologies kon hij wel de software meenemen, maar wegens de rechten die er op rusten niet de naam. Wireshark kan worden gebruikt om vele honderden verschillende netwerkprotocollen en datapakketten die over het netwerk wordt verstuurd te ontleden en te analyseren. Tevens kan het ook reeds opgeslagen dataverkeer gebruiken als invoer. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen zien:
