Update
- Now the coloring rule file supports Wireshark 2.4.0. Fixed some old obsolete syntax which is no longer supported in 2.4.0.
- Added some 802.11 and Cisco proprietary frames.
- Disabled CAPWAP_Control to pay attention to CAPWAP Heartbeat frames. You can enable it again at anytime.
These files are coloring rule files for Wireshark version 1.6.0 - 2.2.8 and version 2.4.0.
(Verified on Mac OS X10.6, 10.11.6, X Window System, and the latest Windows 7 Professional)
