Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] Windows & .Net Mag

This is actually a decent article.  It definitely has its technical 
issues, and things left out:  It's odd that the author neglected to 
point out the extreme cross-platform capabilities of the product versus 
the other analyzers reviewed.  He didn't mention the fact that not only 
does Ethereal decode a huge number of protocols not touched by the 
other products, but in general the quality and accuracy of the decodes 
is FAR beyond the other analyzers.  He didn't even mention that 
Ethereal is the only product mentioned with an actual display filtering 
system (offset filtering during post-capture analysis doesn't count).  
Overall, though, not bad =)
