No competition with WireShark is intended. WireEdit is a packet editor, not an analyzer. Can as easily edit a .txt Hex dump of a packet (not yet supported, but easy to do).

I will admit that I initially thought this was a Wireshark plugin or related to Wireshark in some fashion, based on the name and the appearance of the GUI on the page.

You may want to put a little disclaimer at the top saying it's not associated or competing with Wireshark.

Pretty cool tool either way.

Don't know if it was just added, but the front page currently has this on it:

  Are you competing with Wireshark?

  No. WireEdit is a packet editor, not an analyzer.
  No real-time packet capture either.

Yeh. I added it after the above question was asked. It was asked once, so it obviusly belongs to a FAQ.
