Wireshark has earned the title of the best network protocol analyzer. It offers users the means to capture traffic that runs on a computer network or on a system, interactively. The app has just been updated to 1.21.5.
Wireshark developers released the little update to fix several issues. There are no new features, as it is just a maintenance release.
