Ethereal for Windows v0.10.12 Private

  • 14MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Roddersg

Ethereal is a powerful network protocol analyzer that understands more than 700 protocols. Data can be captured from a live network connection, or read from a capture file. Output can be saved or printed as plain text or PostScript. This particular version of Ethereal created by PacketStuff does not require the pre-installation of any packet capture driver such as WinPCap. However, it does require that you have administrator rights for the PC.

chaneu, some info for you:

PortableFreeware excels in the number of available apps being that it has no input on the application development, it simply catalogues them and will catalogue freeware and open-source without discretion.

PortableApps work on open-source much more and there is a tighter regulation on releases. All apps from PortableApps have a 'app_portable.exe' NSIS script created executable frontloader with instructions for registry handling and application information disposal and being that they are the creators of the released portable versions, they can offer support on any issues of portability.

Although WinPCap is installed on launch of Wireshark Portable, it is uninstalled and cleaned up after the program closes. This is the purpose of the 'app_portable.exe' launcher, made by the PortableApps developers.

I am not a PortableApps developer or even an advocate, I am simply a guy who knows what the hell is going on in the programs I use. If you don't know about portability, don't comment on it.

And further more, stop posting that garbage on any page with 'Wireshark' on it. I don't want to correct every one of your docile assumtions, so stop bad-mouthing a damned good program.

Psytechnic on 2009-12-29 17:32

By the way, Wireshark is a SourceForge project (God bless open-source), so the best place to get updates and so forth at any time is at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wireshark/files/
Look for the one named 'WiresharkPortable-(version).paf.exe'

Paf's are simply 7z self-executing archives of the program folder that have a script in them to look for a PortableApps suite layout on the root of all drives to set the extract location. This is not a requirement as the program folder is completely portable and can be extracted anywhere. Use the 'wireshark_portable.exe' from the program folder to launch.

This could be a nice 'Pendrive Menu' but I've had problems with lost menu data.
Also, it would be nice if, when set up with 2 or 3 different menus, you don't have to jump from the left to the right or top, bottom or the corners, to access a different menu. Perhaps using 'CTRL' or 'ALT' or 'Shift' etc together with the mouse might give the menu a bit more flexibility.

Mainly though, I would say sort out the stability problem of lost info.

Mooncrow on 2011-08-19 17:44

Oh, just another thing.
When you try to get to the 'Hidden Menu Homepage' from the 'Info' tab within the program, you get a web site, [http://home.i-cable.com/lokinwai/], which seems to be Chinese.
