Windows/Mac/Linux: Popular network analyzer Wireshark threw a lot of useful features into its 1.2 update, giving net traffic watchers OpenStreetMap+GeoIP integration, new capture file support, and other updates.

The previously featured utility is just as net-geeky as ever, showing packet movements as they happen along DNS, TCP, UDP, and other protocols and interfaces. On top of that, the app formerly known as Ethereal added a bunch of conveniences and tweaks:

• Display filters now autocomplete.
• A 64-bit Windows (x64) installer is now provided.
• GeoIP database lookups.
• Improved Postscript print output.
• Support for Pcap-ng, the next-generation capture file format.
• Column widths are now saved.
• Capinfos now shows the average packet rate.
