New Wireshark 1.12.5. Wireshark is a freeware tool for monitoring networks. It can help you identify problems, in analysis of the network but also in the development of networking programs.
Wireshark has deservedly earned the title of the best network protocol analyzer. It offers to users the means to capture the traffic running on a computer network or system, interactively. The app has just been updated to version 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.
According to the changelog, the new version of Wireshark fixes seven vulnerabilities that were detected in the LBMR, WebSocket, WCP, X11, and IEEE 802.11 dissectors, as well as the Android file parser and packet reassembly code.
Many errors were corrected, such as a crash that occurred when disabling the "Update list of packets in real time" option.
