Software Update: Wireshark 1.8.3

Wireshark version 1.8.3 has been released. Wireshark is an open source protocol analyzer and packet niffer, which can analyze various data packets and network protocols on the network. The program can also use previously saved data traffic as input. Wireshark runs on Windows XP and above, Linux, and Mac OS X, with separate downloads for 32bit and 64bit versions of the operating systems.
