As rather modest wireshark user I'm quite satisfied with wireshark
possibilities.
But one thing IMO should be slightly better: RSA key list setting (Edit ->
Preferences... -> Protocols ->SSL). As now lot of protocols has its SSL/TLS
version, for their decode it is needed set lot of
IPAddr/port/protocol/decryption_key items. And for setting them is in dialog
only small rectangle box, insufficient for only one combination setting -
although area on right (protocol properties) side is big - see attachment. Thus
there should not be problem set bigger, well-arranged, multiline box for key
list set. And even better - permit store this list in external file (e.g. one
IPAddr/port/proto/key on line), in addition to present list. And for best -
something as when right-clicking to SSL packet list item, then offer some
method RSA key path selection (e.g. in case when proper key isn't found in
actual setting).
I know, there is possible have several profiles, e.g. for each captured host or
protocol one, but it isn't easy to take in, nor maintain it.
