using digg or similar tools will likely reveal who owns the domain. but since ethereal is discontinued it is probably irrelevant.


as for where wireshark development is based  the answer is globally.


it is probable that most of the codebase of wireshark (new name of ethereal) is developed by non-us citizens working from nos-us soil.
in particular i would estimate that most or all of the crypto support in wireshark is developed outside the us by non-citizens.

if this is a problem you may investigate other options.   there are many other fine protocol analyzers out there.   beware that some of those are based on wireshark in some way or another!

Who owns http://www.wireshark.org ? (USA Based?)

 

Would it be fair to say that Ethereal / Wireshark are based in the USA since Gerald Combs started the project and is based in the USA?

 

I ask these questions for security reasons only.
