Download Wireshark 2.4.0 / 2.2.8 / 2.0.14

Versions 2.4.0, 2.2.8 and 2.0.14 of the open source protocol analyzer and packet niffer Wireshark have been released. With this program, various data packets and network protocols on the network can be analyzed. The program can also use previously saved data traffic as input. Wireshark runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, with separate downloads for 32bit and 64bit versions of the operating systems. The following changes and improvements have been made in these releases:

What’s New in 2.4.0

New and Updated Features

The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since version 2.2.0:

• Experimental 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Installer (.msi) packages are available. It is recommended that you use these independently of the NSIS (.exe) installers. That is, you should make sure the NSIS package is completely uninstalled before installing the Windows Installer package and vice-versa.
• Source packages are now compressed using xz instead of bzip2.
• The legacy (GTK+) UI is disabled by default in the Windows installers.
• The legacy (GTK+) UI is disabled by default in the development environment (Autotools and CMake).
• SS7 Point Codes can now be resolved into names with a hosts-like file.
• Wireshark can now go fullscreen to have more room for packets.
• TShark can now export objects like the other GUI interfaces.
• Support for G.722 and G.726 codecs in the RTP Player (via the SpanDSP library).
• You can now choose the output device when playing RTP streams.
• Added support for dissectors to include a unit name natively in their hf field. A field can now automatically append “seconds” or “ms” to its value without additional printf-style APIs.
• The Default profile can now be reset to default values.
• You can move back and forth in the selection history in the Qt UI.
• IEEE 802.15.4 dissector now uses an UAT for decryption keys. The original decryption key preference has been obsoleted.
• Extcap utilities can now provide configuration for a GUI interface toolbar to control the extcap utility while capturing.
• Extcap utilities can now validate the capture filter.
• Display filter function len() can now be used on all string and byte fields.
• Added an experimental timeline view for 802.11 wireless packet data which can be enabled via the “802.11 radio information” preferences.
• Added TLS 1.3 (draft 21) dissection and decryption support ([1]Bug 12779).
• The (D)TLS Application Layer protocol (eg HTTP or CoAP) can now be changed via the Decode As dialog.
• The RSA keys dialog for SSL keys has improved feedback for invalid settings and no longer requires the IP address, Port or Protocol fields to be set in addition to the Key File.
• TCP Analysis will detect and flag more spurious retransmissions.
