Download Wireshark 1.0.5

Yesterday, a new stable version of the open source protocol analyzer and packet sniffer Wireshark was released with version number 1.0.5. Wireshark can parse and analyze different network protocols and data packets that are sent over the network. Furthermore, the program can also use already stored data traffic as input. In 1.0.5 release there is a security issue among other things fixed in the section that parses smtp and wlcc packages, there is an experimental build for Mac OS X 10.5.5 and some bugs have been fixed.
