Download Wireshark 1.0.4

Anyone who goes deeper into maintaining a network or trying to solve communication problems on a network can use a packet sniffer, such as Wireshark. Wireshark is a continuation of the well-known Ethereal and is able to analyze the data sent over the network and distinguish between the different network protocols, so that the network traffic can be monitored as a whole. It is also possible to use previously saved data traffic as input for the program. Wireshark version 1.0.4 has recently been released with the following list of changes:

The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:

see the security advisory for details and a workaround.

• Florent Drouin and David Maciejak found that the Bluetooth ACL dissector could crash or abort. (Bug 1513)
