“From the ‘What’s That Smell?’ files:

“If you’ve ever had to audit/capture network traffic, you’ve

application.

“Wireshark is getting updated this week to version 1.4.3,
providing some really interesting fixes. I personally use wireshark
to audit network traffic and security, but apparently Wireshark
itself had a trio of security flaws in it.”
