Time to update your portable and non-portable Wireshark installations as the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer now has an update – Wireshark version 1.4.0 and Wireshark version 1.4.0rc2! Most importantly, this update fixes the “insecure DLL loading” vulnerability and adds preliminary Python scripting support!

“Wireshark is the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer. It is used for troubleshooting, analysis, development, and education.”
In addition to a lot of bug fixes and updated protocol support, you can ignore packets and excluded them from dissection. For the forensics guys, this release lets you play RTP streams directly from the RTP Analysis window and open JPEG files directly in Wireshark! Other than that, this version does not support Windows 2000. Use older versions of Wireshark 1.2 or 1.0 on those systems.
Download Wireshark version 1.4.0 & Wireshark 1.4.0rc2 here.
