Wireshark

Old Wireshark Versions

The packages listed here belong to earlier Wireshark releases, not the current build. The archive represents versions 3.6.8, 3.6.7, 3.6.6, 3.6.5, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.4.10, and 3.4.9, plus 30 additional entries, while the main package page currently records 4.0.8.

The archive is intended for version research and package identification rather than as a second review of the same software. Its value comes from showing which older builds existed, how they were packaged, and which operating systems those files targeted.

Wireshark Version Archive

The page contains 164 archived packages across 40 recorded versions. The visible version set is 3.6.8, 3.6.7, 3.6.6, 3.6.5, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.4.10, and 3.4.9, plus 30 additional entries, and the package rows identify 32-bit Windows Installer, 64-bit Windows Installer, 32-bit Windows Portable, 64-bit Windows Portable, macOS, Windows Portable (PAF), and OS X as the associated operating-system coverage.

Package identification can be checked against names such as Wireshark-win32-3.6.8.exe, Wireshark-win64-3.6.8.exe, WiresharkPortable32_3.6.8.paf.exe, WiresharkPortable64_3.6.8.paf.exe, Wireshark-win32-3.6.7.exe, Wireshark-win64-3.6.7.exe, WiresharkPortable32_3.6.7.paf.exe, and WiresharkPortable64_3.6.7.paf.exe, plus 156 additional entries. Across the inventory, EXE and DMG formats appear, reflecting the different installation or portable-delivery methods used by these releases.

• Archived versions: 3.6.8, 3.6.7, 3.6.6, 3.6.5, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.4.10, and 3.4.9, plus 30 additional entries.
• Recorded platforms: 32-bit Windows Installer, 64-bit Windows Installer, 32-bit Windows Portable, 64-bit Windows Portable, macOS, Windows Portable (PAF), and OS X.
• Package formats: EXE and DMG.
• Stored package records: 164; records with checksums: 164.

Working With Archived Wireshark Releases

Use this archive when the exact Wireshark version is part of the problem being investigated. Examples include checking an inherited workstation, rebuilding an older environment, validating a migration, or matching a package name found in deployment records.

Version age introduces trade-offs. An old build may match a legacy dependency but lack later fixes, current platform support, or changes to external services. Testing should therefore happen on non-critical data or an isolated system before the package is used operationally.

Package and Platform Compatibility

The archived package rows cover 32-bit Windows Installer, 64-bit Windows Installer, 32-bit Windows Portable, 64-bit Windows Portable, macOS, Windows Portable (PAF), and OS X. A package should only be evaluated against the platform and architecture it was built for; similarly named files can still target different systems or installation methods.

The EXE and DMG formats shown in the file set represent different delivery methods. Record the selected filename alongside the version so another person can identify the same historical package later.

Checksums and File Identification

The archive retains checksum values for 164 packages out of 164. Available digest types include MD5, SHA1, and SHA256; these are identification records rather than a substitute for compatibility or security review.

A checksum comparison only works when both sides use the same algorithm. Exact filename, version, size, source record, and digest should be considered together when documenting the provenance of an old package.

Choosing Between Old and Current Versions

The main listing and archive serve different purposes: 4.0.8 appears on the current page, while 3.6.8, 3.6.7, 3.6.6, 3.6.5, 3.6.3, 3.6.2, 3.6.1, 3.6.0, 3.4.10, and 3.4.9, plus 30 additional entries are preserved here for historical package identification.

In most cases, start with the current Wireshark page because later releases may include compatibility changes, maintenance fixes, and updated platform support. Choose an archived version only when a documented requirement justifies it.
