Ethereal is a [PacketSniffer]. It is no longer being developed as an open-source product; that development has moved to [Wireshark].

It is now in pretty [GTK]2.

A patch for [DCCP] support can be found at http://www.jp.nishida.org/dccp/

!!Tips
!Display Filters
Although ethereal's help shows you many fields you can use to filter on, such as all the subfields of the various supported protocols, it doesn't give you any help as to how to set up a simple filter!

So, here are some simple examples:

Hides all [SSH] and [ARP] protocol packets
 !ssh && !arp

Hide all [SSH] protocol packets, as well as [TCP] [ACK]/[FIN] etc packets for ssh connections:
 !ssh && tcp.port != 22

Traffic to or from a 192.168 subnet:
 ip.addr == 192.168.0.0/16

Traffic to this [IP] that is [UDP]:
 ip.dst == 192.168.1.1 && udp

 ip.dst
