Wireshark 4.0.

10 Release Notes

What is Wireshark?

Wireshark is the world’s most popular network protocol analyzer. It is

used for troubleshooting, analysis, development and education.

What’s New

We do not ship official 32-bit Windows packages for Wireshark 4.0 and
later. If you need to use Wireshark on that platform, we recommend
using the latest 3.6 release. Issue 17779[1]

If you’re running Wireshark on macOS and upgraded to macOS 13 from an

earlier version, you might have to open and run the “Uninstall
ChmodBPF” package, then open and run “Install ChmodBPF” in order to
reset the ChmodBPF Launch Daemon. Issue 18734[2].

system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can

File Locations
 Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for

locations vary from platform to platform. You can use "Help › About
Wireshark › Folders" or `tshark -G folders` to find the default
locations on your system.
