- [6]CVE-2007-0456
-
- The following bugs have been fixed:
-
- o On Windows systems the packet list scroll bar could sometimes
- disappear or become unusable. ([7]Bug 220)
-
- o The end of HTTP chunked encoding wasn't being displayed.
- ([8]Bug 646)

- 1043)

-

- ([11]Bug 1138)
-
- o The foreground text in the coloring rules editor was always
- black.. ([12]Bug 1164)
-
- o The CSV export format was incorrect. ([13]Bug 1173)
+ New and Updated Features
- o On some Windows systems Wireshark could take a long time to
- start up.
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 2.1.0:
+ * Added -d option for Decode As support in Wireshark (mimics TShark
+ functionality)
+ * The Qt UI, GTK+ UI, and TShark can now export packets as JSON.
+ TShark can additionally export packets as Elasticsearch-compatible
+ JSON.
+ * The Qt UI now supports the -j, -J, and -l flags. The -m flag is now
+ deprecated.
+ * The Conversations and Endpoints dialogs are more responsive when
+ viewing large numbers of items.
+ * The RTP player now allows up to 30 minutes of silence frames.
+ * Packet bytes can now be displayed as EBCDIC.
+ * The Qt UI loads captures faster on Windows.
+
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 2.0.0:
+ * The intelligent scroll bar now sits to the left of a normal scroll
+ bar and provides a clickable map of nearby packets.
+ * You can now switch between between Capture and File Format
+ dissection of the current capture file via the View menu in the Qt
+ GUI.
+ * You can now show selected packet bytes as ASCII, HTML, Image, ISO
+ 8859-1, Raw, UTF-8, a C array, or YAML.
+ * You can now use regular expressions in Find Packet and in the
+ advanced preferences.
+ * Name resolution for packet capture now supports asynchronous DNS
+ lookups only. Therefore the "concurrent DNS resolution" preference
+ has been deprecated and is a no-op. To enable DNS name resolution
+ some build dependencies must be present (currently c-ares). If that
+ is not the case DNS name resolution will be disabled (but other
+ name resolution mechanisms, such as host files, are still
+ available).
+ * The byte under the mouse in the Packet Bytes pane is now
+ highlighted.
+ * TShark supports exporting PDUs via the -U flag.
+ * The Windows and OS X installers now come with the "sshdump" and
+ "ciscodump" extcap interfaces.
+ * Most dialogs in the Qt UI now save their size and positions.
+ * The Follow Stream dialog now supports UTF-16.
+ * The Firewall ACL Rules dialog has returned.
+ * The Flow (Sequence) Analysis dialog has been improved.
+ * We no longer provide packages for 32-bit versions of OS X.
+ * The Bluetooth Device details dialog has been added.
+
+ New File Format Decoding Support
+
+ Wireshark is able to display the format of some types of files (rather
+ than displaying the contents of those files). This is useful when
+ you're curious about, or debugging, a file and its format. To open a
+ capture file (such as PCAP) in this mode specify "MIME Files Format" as
+ the file's format in the Open File dialog.
+
+ New files that Wireshark can open in this mode include:
- o Malformed UDLD packets could cause an exception.
+ New Protocol Support
- o The ISUP statistics report could overflow a buffer and crash
- when displaying IPv6 addresses.
+ Apache Cassandra - CQL version 3.0, Bachmann bluecom Protocol,
+ Bluetooth Pseudoheader for BR/EDR, CISCO ERSPAN3 Marker, Edge Control
+ Protocol (ECP), Ericsson IPOS Kernel Packet Header Dissector Added
+ (IPOS), Extensible Control & Management Protocol (eCMP), FLEXRAY
+ Protocol dissector added (automotive bus), IEEE 802.1BR E-Tag, ISO
+ 8583-1, ISO14443, ITU-T G.7041/Y.1303 Generic Framing Procedure (GFP),
+ LAT protocol (DECNET), Metamako trailers, Network-Based IP Flow
+ Mobility (NBIFOM), Nokia Intelligent Service Interface (ISI), Open
+ Mobile Alliance Lightweight Machine to Machine TLV payload Added (LwM2M
+ TLV), Real Time Location System (RTLS), RTI TCP Transport Layer
+ (RTITCP), STANAG 5602 SIMPLE, USB3 Vision Protocol (USB machine vision
+ cameras), USBIP Protocol, UserLog Protocol, and Zigbee Protocol
+ Clusters Dissectors Added (Closures Lighting General Measurement &
+ Sensing HVAC Security & Safety)
- New and Updated Features
+ Updated Protocol Support
- The following features are new (or have been significantly
- updated) since the last release:
+ Bluetooth OBEX dissector (btobex) was renamed to Obex Dissector (obex),
+ allow to DecodeAs it over USB, TCP and UDP.
- o We are now offering Wireshark as a [14]U3 package for Windows.
- U3 packages are suitable for using on USB drives and CD-ROMs.
- It's still experimental, but you're welcome to try it out and
- report any problems or successes.
+ A preference was added to TCP dissector for handling IPFIX process
+ information. It has been disabled by default.
- o Decryption support for WPA/WPA2 and SNMPv3 has been added. The
- TDS / MS SQL dissector now de-obfuscates passwords.
+ New and Updated Capture File Support
- o 64-bit file handling has been improved.
+ and Micropross mplog
- o The Find function now selects the corresponding packet detail
- item. Find functionality has been added to the TCP and SSL
- stream dialogs.
+ New and Updated Capture Interfaces support
- o Main window keyboard navigation has been improved.
+ Non-empty section placeholder.
- o Windows file dialogs now show the "places" bar (Desktop, My
- Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, etc). File dialogs
- now default to "My Documents" in accordance with Microsoft's
- HIG.
+ Major API Changes
- o [15]AirPcap support (which provides raw mode capture under
- Windows) has been enhanced to allow capturing on multiple
- AirPcap adapters simultaneously.
+ The libwireshark API has undergone some major changes:
+ * The address macros (e.g., SET_ADDRESS) have been removed. Use the
+ (lower case) functions of the same names instead.
+ * "old style" dissector functions (that don't return number of bytes
+ used) have been replaced in name with the "new style" dissector
+ functions.
+ * tvb_get_string and tvb_get_stringz have been replaced with
+ tvb_get_string_enc and tvb_get_stringz_enc respectively.
+ __________________________________________________________________
- o You can no longer install Wireshark on Windows 95, 98, or ME.
- (OK, so it's not a feature per se, but it's an important
- change). The last version known to work on these systems is
- [16]Ethereal 0.99.0.
+Getting Wireshark
- o ASN.1 BER-encoded files can now be dissected according to a
- user-specified syntax.
+ Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
+ [1]https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
- New Protocol Support
+ Vendor-supplied Packages
- DMP, Homeplug (INT51X1), NBD, OMAPI, PKCS#12, RGMP, Roofnet, STUN
- v2
+ Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
+ can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
+ system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
+ found on the [2]download page on the Wireshark web site.
