About Wireshark

Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer, and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions.

Wireshark development thrives thanks to the contributions of networking experts across the globe. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998.
Features

Wireshark has a rich feature set which includes the following:

* Deep inspection of hundreds of protocols, with more being added all the time
* Live capture and offline analysis
* Standard three-pane packet browser
* Multi-platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and many others
* Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the TTY-mode TShark utility
* The most powerful display filters in the industry
* Rich VoIP analysis
* Read/write many different capture file formats: tcpdump (libpcap), Catapult DCT2000, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, Microsoft Network Monitor, Network General Sniffer® (compressed and uncompressed), Sniffer® Pro, and NetXray®, Network Instruments Observer, Novell LANalyzer, RADCOM WAN/LAN Analyzer, Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor, Tektronix K12xx, Visual Networks Visual UpTime, WildPackets EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek, and many others
* Capture files compressed with gzip can be decompressed on the fly
* Live data can be read from Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP/HDLC, ATM, Bluetooth, USB, Token Ring, Frame Relay, FDDI, and others (depending on your platfrom)
* Decryption support for many protocols, including IPsec, ISAKMP, Kerberos, SNMPv3, SSL/TLS, WEP, and WPA/WPA2
* Coloring rules can be applied to the packet list for quick, intuitive analysis
* Output can be exported to XML, PostScript®, CSV, or plain text

Mission and Goals

To create, as a community, the leading international web-based platform for developing and deploying web mapping applications and geospatial web services. The goals for the platform are as follows:

MapGuide Open Source is a web-based platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services.
Interactive Map Viewing

* Offers an AJAX Viewer (pure DHTML no plug-in required) or a vector-based DWF Viewer (requires an ActiveX Control) with a common user interface and JavaScript API
* AJAX Viewer offers a tiled map display for smooth navigation
* Allows feature selection by point, rectangle, radius, or polygon with immediate feedback
* Displays feature properties in multi-line tool tips
* Displays properties of the selected feature in a property browser panel
* Supports feature buffering, querying features that fall within selected polygons, and a tool for measuring distance
* Provides printing and plotting support

Quality Cartographic Output

* Scale-dependent detail
* Rule-driven thematic layer stylization
* Dynamic labeling with overpost detection, labels that follow the path of a line, and automatic label resizing
* Anti-aliased image rendering
* True color support
* TrueType font support

Built-in Resource Database for Manageability

* Provides hierarchical storage of XML resource documents that define maps, layers, data connections, symbology, and viewer layout
* Allows you to define data sources and layers once and then reference them from multiple maps
* Provides an access-based security model with inheritable permissions
* Permits metadata and binary data to be associated with resource documents

Uniform Data Access

* Exclusive use of the Feature Data Objects (FDO) API for vector and raster feature data access
o Support for ESRI SHP and SDF vector file formats
o Support for ESRI ArcSDE, MySQL, ODBC database formats
o Support for Raster file formats via GDAL
o Support for OGC WMS and WFS
* Exclusive use of DWF for CAD-based data access

Flexible Application Development

* Write your application logic once within the web server environment and it will work with either viewer on any client
* Develop your applications in PHP, .NET, or Java

Extensive Server-Side APIs

* Create, query, read, and write permanent and session based XML resource documents
* Query and update feature data across all supported data sources, including spatial and attribute data, and schema discovery
* Perform coordinate reprojection and great circle distance computation
* Create, manipulate, and analyze geometry with support for spatial predicates based on the DE-9IM model, overlay functions (intersection, union, difference, symmetric difference), buffer, convex hull, area, and distance functions
* Produce stylized vector and raster maps and legends
* Manipulate runtime maps and layers, add / remove / change layers, change layer and group visibility, modify the definition of a layer, and alter the current view

Fast, Scalable, Secure Server Platform

* Fully multi-threaded and takes advantage of multi-core / multi-processor technology
* Multiple servers can be configured as one logical site to improve scalability
* FastCGI based Map Agent loads once and stays loaded for use with both Apache and Microsoft IIS
* Database connections are pooled and shared between users, improving performance
* Tile caching ensures map image tiles are only rendered once for the AJAX Viewer no matter how many users are viewing the map
* Connection-oriented, role-based security
* Configurable logging of client access, administrative access, authentication attempts, errors, session lifetimes, and request tracing
* Web-based site administration allows remote site and server configuration, and log file access

Multiple Platform Support

* Deploy on Microsoft Windows or Linux
* Serve applications with Apache or Microsoft IIS
* Browse applications with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari

Open Geospatial Consortium Standards

* Web Map Service
* Web Feature Service
