1.5. Development and maintenance of

Wireshark

Wireshark was initially developed by Gerald Combs. Ongoing development and maintenance of

Wireshark is handled by the Wireshark team, a loose group of individuals who fix bugs and provide

new functionality.

There have also been a large number of people who have contributed protocol dissectors to Wire-

shark, and it is expected that this will continue. You can find a list of the people who have contrib-

uted code to Wireshark by checking the about dialog box of Wireshark, or at the authors page on the

Wireshark web site.

Wireshark is an open source software project, and is released under the GNU General Public Li-

cence (GPL). All source code is freely available under the GPL. You are welcome to modify Wire-

shark to suit your own needs, and it would be appreciated if you contribute your improvements back

to the Wireshark team.

You gain three benefits by contributing your improvements back to the community:

• Other people who find your contributions useful will appreciate them, and you will know that

you have helped people in the same way that the developers of Wireshark have helped people.

• The developers of Wireshark might improve your changes even more, as there's always room for

improvement. Or they may implement some advanced things on top of your code, which can be

useful for yourself too.

• The maintainers and developers of Wireshark will maintain your code as well, fixing it when

API changes or other changes are made, and generally keeping it in tune with what is happening

with Wireshark. So if Wireshark is updated (which is done often), you can get a new Wireshark

version from the website and your changes will already be included without any effort for you.

The Wireshark source code and binary kits for some platforms are all available on the download

page of the Wireshark website: http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
