Riverbed Technology, the sponsor of Wireshark – an open source network and protocol analysis tool ongoing development project – announced a major Wireshark release that’s been nearly two years in the making.
Beyond an array of new and improved features and streamlined operational enhancements, Wireshark 2.0 now uses a new application framework to deliver a significantly better user experience on all platforms, particularly Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
“Wireshark 2.0 is the result of the hard work and dedication of a group of independent developers spread around the planet. They’re wonderfully talented and it’s an honor to be able to work with them and with the user community on such a great product,” said Gerald Combs, Wireshark Project Founder and Director of Open Source Projects for Riverbed. “The hard work of the development team shows in Wireshark’s popularity.
