Wireshark 1.8.0!
Features
Capture and interactively analyze network traffic
Runs on most platforms
Official change log for Wireshark 1.8.0:
Bug Fixes - The following bugs have been fixed in Wireshark 1.8.0:
When saving the displayed packets, packets which are dependencies (e.g., due to reassembly) of the displayed packets are included in the list of saved packets (Bug 3315).
Rearranging columns in preferences doesn’t work on 64-bit Windows. (Bug 6077)
New and Updated Features - The following features are new (or have been significantly updated) since version Wireshark 1.6:
Wireshark supports capturing from multiple interfaces at once.
You can now add, edit, and save packet and capture file annotations.
Wireshark, TShark, and their associated utilities now save files using the pcap-ng file format by default. (Your copy of Wireshark might still use the pcap file format if pcap-ng is disabled in your preferences.)
Decryption key management for IEEE 802.11, IPsec, and ISAKMP is easier.
OID resolution is now supported on 64-bit Windows.
The “Save As” menu item has been split into “Save As”, which lets you save a file using a different filename and “Export Specified Packets”, which lets you have more control over which packets are saved.
TCP fast retransmissions are now indicated as an expert info note, rather than a warning, just as TCP retransmissions are.
TCP window updates are no longer colorized as “Bad TCP”.
TShark’s command-line options have changed. The previously undocumented -P option is now -2 option for performing a two-pass analysis; the former -S option is now the -P option for printing packets even if writing to a file, and the -S option is now used to specify a different line separator between packets.
GeoIP IPv6 databases are now supported.
