Branch: pkgsrc-2011Q2, Version: 1.4.9, Package name: wireshark-1.4.9, Maintainer: tron

Wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal) is a free network protocol analyzer for
Unix and Windows. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a
capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing
summary and detail information for each packet. Wireshark has several powerful
features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the
reconstructed stream of a TCP session.
