1 | As you probably read yesterday in GWN[1], Ethereal is being removed due to |
2 | security vulnerabilities[2] and replaced with its successor, Wireshark. |
3 | |
4 | Ethereal, as far as anyone can tell, is no longer being developed[3] as all |
5 | the core developers have moved to Wireshark[4]. |
6 | |
7 | To make this transition as painless as possible, a package move has been setup |
8 | so Ethereal users should automatically upgrade to Wireshark. |
9 | |
10 | To keep the saved configuration from Ethereal and reuse it with Wireshark do |
11 | the following for each user that has a saved Ethereal configuration: |
12 | |
13 | cd $HOME |
14 | mv .ethereal .wireshark |
