Wireshark is really useful, but it's also had security problems (I think I'm not being unfair here) continuously over its entire existence. I started using it over 10 years ago back when it was called Ethereal, and I feel like I've seen probably hundreds of Ethereal/Wireshark security advisories in that time.
