-What is Wireshark?
+ What’s New
- Wireshark is the world's most popular network protocol analyzer.
- It is used for troubleshooting, analysis, development, and
- education.
-
-What's New
+ Many user interface improvements have been made. See the “New and
+ Updated Features” section below for more details.
Bug Fixes
- The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:
+ The following bugs have been fixed:
- o The SCSI dissector could crash. Versions affected: 0.99.2.
+ Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes. (Bug 1419[1])
- o 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.
+ New and Updated Features
- o 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.
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 2.9.0:
- o 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.
+ • Wireshark now supports the Swedish and Ukrainian language.
- The following bugs have been fixed:
+ • Initial support for using PKCS #11 tokens for RSA decryption in
+ TLS. A configuration user interface is still in development.
- o The VOIP call analysis feature could cause an assertion.
+ The following features are new (or have been significantly updated)
+ since version 2.6.0:
- o The RTP analysis feature could freeze for an extended period.
+ • The Windows .exe installers now ship with Npcap instead of
+ WinPcap.
- o Selecting "Apply as Filter" wouldn't work for some tree items.
+ • Conversation timestamps are supported for UDP/UDP-Lite protocols
- New and Updated Features
+ • TShark now supports the -G elastic-mapping option which generates
+ an ElasticSearch mapping file.
+
+ • The “Capture Information” dialog has been added back (Bug
+ 12004[2]).
+
+ • The Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 dissectors no longer validate the
+ frame check sequence (checksum) by default.
+
+ • The TCP dissector gained a new “Reassemble out-of-order segments”
+ preference to fix dissection and decryption issues in case TCP
+ segments are received out-of-order. See the User’s Guide, chapter
+ TCP Reassembly for details.
+
+ • Decryption support for the new WireGuard dissector (Bug 15011[3],
+ requires Libgcrypt 1.8).
+
+ • The BOOTP dissector has been renamed to DHCP. With the exception
+ of “bootp.dhcp”, the old “bootp.*” display filter fields are
+ still supported but may be removed in a future release.
+
+ • The SSL dissector has been renamed to TLS. As with BOOTP the old
+ “ssl.*” display filter fields are supported but may be removed in
+ a future release.
+
+ • Coloring rules, IO graphs, Filter Buttons and protocol preference
+ tables can now be copied from other profiles using a button in
+ the corresponding configuration dialogs.
+
+ • APT-X has been renamed to aptX.
+
+ • When importing from hex dump, it’s now possible to add an
+ ExportPDU header with a payload name. This calls the specific
+ dissector directly without lower protocols.
+
+ • The sshdump and ciscodump extcap interfaces can now use a proxy
+ for the SSH connection.
+
+ • Dumpcap now supports the -a packets:NUM and -b packets:NUM
+ options.
- The following features are new (or have been significantly
- updated) since the last release:
+ • Wireshark now includes a “No Reassembly” configuration profile.
- o ESP, Kerberos, and SSL decryption are now supported in the
- Windows installer. (As as result, Wireshark is now subject to
- United States export controls.)
+ • Wireshark now supports the Russian language.
- o The packet list context menu now includes a conversation
- filter.
+ • The build system now supports AppImage packages.
- o Wireshark can now generate ACL rules for several popular
- firewall products.
+ • The Windows installers now ship with Qt 5.12.0. Previously they
+ shipped with Qt 5.9.7.
- o Wireshark now supports AirPcap, including raw 802.11 captures
- under Windows.
+ • Support for DTLS and TLS decryption using pcapng files that embed
+ a Decryption Secrets Block (DSB) containing a TLS Key Log (Bug
+ 15252[4]).
+
+ • The editcap utility gained a new --inject-secrets option to
+ inject an existing TLS Key Log file into a pcapng file.
+
+ • A new dfilter function string() has been added. It allows the
+ conversion of non-string fields to strings so string functions
+ (as contains and matches) can be used on them.
+
+ Removed Features and Support
+
+ • The legacy (GTK+) user interface has been removed and is no
+ longer supported.
+
+ • Wireshark requires Qt 5.2 or later. Qt 4 is no longer supported.
+
+ • Wireshark requires GLib 2.32 or later.
+
+ • Wireshark requires GnuTLS 3.2 or later as optional dependency.
+
+ • Building Wireshark requires Python 3.4 or newer, Python 2.7 is
+ unsupported.
+
+ • Building Wireshark requires CMake. Autotools is no longer
+ supported.
+
+ • TShark’s -z compare option was removed.

-Getting Wireshark
+ New and Updated Capture Interfaces support
- Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
- the [1]download page on the main web site.
+ dpauxmon, an external capture interface (extcap) that captures
+ DisplayPort AUX channel data from linux kernel drivers.
- Vendor-supplied Packages
+ sdjournal, an extcap that captures systemd journal entries.
+
+ Major API Changes
- Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages.
- You can 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.
+ • Lua: the various logging functions (debug, info, message, warn
+ and critical) have been removed. Use the print function instead
+ for debugging purposes.
-File Locations
+ • Lua: on Windows, file-related functions such as dofile now assume
+ UTF-8 paths instead of the local code page. This is consistent
+ with Linux and macOS and improves compatibility on non-English
+ systems. (Bug 15118[5])
- Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for
- preference files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries.
- These locations vary from platform to platform. You can use
- About->Folders to find the default locations on your system.

-Known Problems
+ Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
+ https://www.wireshark.org/download.html[6].
+
