Download Wireshark 0.99.4

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. It is able to analyze the data that is sent over the network and distinguish between different network protocols, allowing you to monitor the network traffic in its entirety. You can also use already saved data traffic as input for the program. Version 0.99.4 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 HTTP dissector could crash. (Bug 1050 and 1079)
  Versions affected: 0.99.3.
• The LDAP dissector (and possibly others) could crash. (bug 1054)
  Versions affected: 0.99.3.
• The XOT dissector could attempt to allocate a large amount of memory and crash. (bug 1133)
  Versions affected: 0.9.8 to 0.99.3.
• The WBXML dissector could crash. (bug 1134)
  Versions affected: 0.10.11 to 0.99.3.
• The MIME Multipart dissector was susceptible to an off-by-one error. (bug 1135)
  Versions affected: 0.10.1 to 0.99.3.
• If AirPcap support was enabled, parsing a WEP key could sometimes cause a crash.
  Versions affected: 0.99.3.

The following bugs have been fixed:

• The file set dialog could grow excessively large. (Bug 331)
• Trying to save flow data may crash Wireshark. (Bug 396)
• It may not be possible to re-order coloring rules under Windows. (bug 699)
• Printing each packet to a new page didn’t work under Windows. (bug 707)
• The personal hosts configuration file wasn’t being parsed correctly. (bug 795)
• “Save as” to an existing file wasn’t allowed. (bug 927)
• The SNMP dissector was not handling 64-bit counters properly. (bug 1047)
• Wireshark and TShark would fail to start under Windows while trying to acquire a crypto context. (bug 1096)
• The HTTP content-length field was a string instead of an integer. (bug 1109)
• Invalid characters could show up in PDML output. (bug 1110)

New and Updated Features:

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

• AirPcap, support (which provides raw mode capture under Windows) has been enhanced to allow capturing on multiple AirPcap adapters simultaneously using the Multi-Channel Aggregator.
• VoIP call playback has been enhanced. If Wireshark is linked with the PortAudio library, you can play back G.711 conversations. This feature is present in the standard Windows installer.
• The capture interface dialog display has been enhanced.
• The “Save” button has been removed from the “Ok” / “Apply” / “Cancel” button group in the following dialogs:
  • Edit/Preferences
  • View/Coloring Rules
  • Capture/Capture Filters
  • Analyze/Display Filters
  • Analysis/Enabled Protocols

  If you’re fond of the “Save” button it can be resurrected in the User Interface preferences.

• Reading from stdin (“-i -“) now works under Windows.
• Expert analysis has been improved.
• Wireshark now supports USB as a media type. If you’re running a Linux distribution with version 2.6.11 of the kernel or greater and you have the usbmon module enabled and you have a recent CVS version of libpcap (post-0.9.5) installed you can also do live captures. More details can be found at the USB capture setup page on the wiki.
• he number of WEP keys that the user can specify in the IEEE 802.11 protocol preferences has been increased from 4 to 64.
