Wireshark for Windows 0.99.2 - Free Network Protocol Analyzer

wireshark picWireshark (formerly Ethereal) for Windows 0.99.2 (Windows, Open Source, 12.55MB) [via FileForum] is a network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary and detail information for each packet. Has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session.

Recent changes:

  • Name changed to Wireshark
  • Multicast stream analysis (Statistics->Multicast Streams) has been added. It lets you determine burst size, output buffer size, and losses for multicast data.
  • TCP reassembly has been updated and improved.
  • Expert analysis has been updated and improved.
  • SCSI service response time statistics have been added.
  • You can now find next/previous marked frames.
  • The LDAP and SNMP dissectors have been completely rewriten.
  • and more

This software would be great tool for network troubleshooting.
