Wireshark, One of the world’s most popular network packet analyzers, released Wireshark 4.0.7 with bug fixes, updated protocol support, and enhancements.

Wireshark is an application that captures packets from a network link, like the one between your computer and your home office or the internet.

In a standard Ethernet network, a packet is a data unit that can be sent and received independently. The most widely used packet sniffer in the world is Wireshark.
