a sniff by any other name

April 24, 2007 under Ethereal, Internet, Software, Wireshark

This is a reminder to myself. The next time I need to download my favourite packet sniffer, I shan’t look for Ethereal anymore, for Ethereal is now known as Wireshark. I’ve used Ethereal so much in the past, whether to track down a Russian spammer/WaReZ hocker or to detect a rogue worm running rampant on a LAN, it’s a lifesaver when you really need it. It’s nice to see its development continue, even though I liked the old name better.
