About Wireshark

Wireshark, originally named Ethereal, was created in 1998 by Gerald Combs to provide a tool for network troubleshooting and analysis. The name changed to Wireshark in 2006 due to trademark issues.

Wireshark's strengths include its comprehensive protocol support, real-time analysis, and detailed packet inspection. Weaknesses are its steep learning curve for beginners and potential performance issues with large data captures. Competitors include tcpdump, Microsoft Network Monitor, and SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor.
