Download Wireshark 0.99.3

Anyone who goes deeper into maintaining a network structure or trying to solve communication problems on a network often uses what is known as a packet sniffer. The Wireshark program is a continuation of the well-known Ethereal. Gerald Combs, the lead developer, was unable to transfer the rights to the Ethereal name that his previous employer had secured for him when he switched employers. For more information you can this article read through. The program is able to analyze the data that is sent over the network in different network protocols so that you can monitor the network traffic in its entirety. You can also use already saved data traffic as input for the program. Version 0.99.3 has recently been released and includes the following list of changes:

Bug Fixes:

The following vulnerabilities have been fixed. See the security advisory for details and a workaround.

• The SCSI dissector could crash.
  Versions affected: 0.99.2.
• If Wireshark was compiled with ESP decryption support, the IPsec ESP preference parser was susceptible to off-by-one errors.
  Versions affected: 0.99.2.
• The DHCP dissector (and possibly others) in the Windows version of Wireshark could trigger a bug in Glib and crash.
  Versions affected: 0.10.13 – 0.99.2.
• If the SSCOP dissector has a port range configured and the SSCOP payload protocol is Q.2931, a malformed packet could make the Q.2931 dissector use up available memory. No port range is configured by default.
  Versions affected: 0.7.9 – 0.99.2.

The following bugs have been fixed:

• The VOIP call analysis feature could cause an assertion.
• The RTP analysis feature could freeze for an extended period.
• Selecting “Apply as Filter” wouldn’t work for some tree items.

New and Updated Features:

The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since the last release:

• ESP, Kerberos, and SSL decryption are now supported in the Windows installer. (As as result, Wireshark is now subject to United States export controls.)
• The packet list context menu now includes a conversation filter.
• Wireshark can now generate ACL rules for several popular firewall products.
• Wireshark now supports AirPcap, including raw 802.11 captures under Windows.
