I see two issues:
Issue 1: Old wireshark versions moved
-
I believe the issue is because wireshark has moved its historical downloads.
Downloads of old versions used to be at https://1.na.dl.wireshark.org/src/
They now appear at https://1.na.dl.wireshark.org/src/*all-versions/ *
(emphasis mine)
Issue 2: Which version of wireshark do we support?
-
Regarding the disagreement of which version of wireshark to download and
build,
I agree that version 2.2.3 is probably the intended version, and the
instructions
were never updated. I searched the git repo, and determined that this
discrepancy
has been present since this file was originally added to git (2017). Thus,
it is not
possible to say when the discrepancy occurred, and it's probably just a
good idea
to assume the newest version was the one they intended to use.
Therefore, in the context of SPOT-159, file src/index.html, line 478,
I propose that the link to download wireshark be changed from:
wget https://1.na.dl.wireshark.org/src/wireshark-2.2.3.tar.bz2
to
wget https://1.na.dl.wireshark.org/src/all-versions/wireshark-2.2.3.tar.bz2
Thanks,
Jeremy
