如果你知道Sniffer Pro,就不可能不知道ethereal,非常小巧的协议分析工具,而且跨平台,开源!Ethereal是一个非常流行的网络协议分析工具. 6月8号, Ethereal核心程序员Gerald Coombs宣布了一则通知: 我离开了NIS公司, 现加入CaceTech公司. 由于最终没有与NIS公司(Ethereal商标的所有者)达成协议, Ethereal改名为Wireshark. Ethereal网站上面没有反应,但Wireshark上面已经有了声明
The world's most popular network protocol analyzer has a new home!
Gerald Combs, the creator of the Ethereal® network protocol analyzer, has accepted a position with CACE Technologies. CACE is best known for the popular WinPcap packet capture library.
Along with the move comes a new name for the project: Wireshark.
This site (http://www.wireshark.org/)
is the new home of the project. We look forward to continuing our
success as world-class network protocol analyzer under the new name,
and we welcome you to join us.
Ethereal的界面已经更改
那Ethereal和Ethereal.com网站及邮件列表, 缺陷跟踪系统将会怎样呢？未知，这一切都将由NIS公司决定.
