The world's most popular network protocol analyzer has a new home!
Gerald Combs, the creator of the Ethereal® network protocol analyzer, has accepted a position with CACE Technologies. CACE is best known for the popular WinPcap packet capture library.
Along with the move comes a new name for the project: Wireshark.
This site (http://www.wireshark.org/) is the new home of the project. We look forward to continuing our success as world-class network protocol analyzer under the new name, and we welcome you to join us.

I'm wondering why such a name like "ethereal" should be changed. "ethereal" is a name everybody knows... Whatever, hope that 0.99.1 release meets the repo's soon .

It seems odd that there is no mention of this on the ethereal website.

the original ethereal author no longer has control over the server, or the ethereal trademark.
