The vulnerabilities in Log4j and OpenSSL have made it clear that companies large and small rely on open source projects and big problems arise when critical vulnerabilities are found in these tools. Log4j has shown the importance of maintaining open source projects. Given Wireshark’s widespread adoption, it is of the utmost importance to ensure the continuity of the project. The importance of solid open source projects “ It is impressive to see the enduring legacy Wireshark is taking under Gerald’s leadership. You can assume that most of the Fortune 2000 companies are actively using Wireshark,” said Loris Degioanni, CTO and Founder of Sysdig. “ I’m excited to be working with Gerald again and driving the project forward in the same way Sysdig supports Falco and the Sysdig open source project. This move ensures Wireshark will continue to innovate. Our goal at Sysdig is to make Wireshark stronger.” Wireshark is an open source GUI network packet capture tool that helps teams monitor network traffic, understand protocols and packet basics, and troubleshoot network issues. For network administrators, Wireshark is the de facto standard for micro-level health and security checks. Wireshark records data packets and saves them for later viewing. Teams can filter this traffic to find evidence of an incident. With more than 1,900 contributors, the number of installations is constantly growing. Since Wireshark can be used consistently in almost any environment, including Windows, Linux and macOS, acceptance is very high. Sysdig, Inc., the leader in container and cloud security, today announced that Gerald Combs, Wireshark creator and project lead, has joined the company. Wireshark, an open source tool, is the world’s leading and most widely used network protocol analyzer, with more than 60 million downloads over the last 5 years – an average of one million per month. Loris Degioanni, CTO and founder of Sysdig, launched Wireshark together with Gerald more than 15 years ago. Gerald joins the Sysdig open source team, which is instrumental in many open source projects including Falco, eBPF, Sysdig Open Source, Sysdig Inspect and other tools and libraries.
