1.2.3, with POSIX capabilities (Linux), without libpcre, without SMI, without
ADNS, without Lua, with GnuTLS 1.6.3, with Gcrypt 1.2.4, with MIT Kerberos,

syntax.

The goal is to detect foreign intrusion, so the capture files are produced on
both sides of the communication and then compared.

The two captures files are checked against missing packages, if they got a
different checksum (only IP header yet) or the delay is to big (variance set to
5%).

The Packages are compared regarding there IP-Id. 
The info column contains new numbering so the “same” packages are parallel.
The color filtering differentiate the two files from each other and create a
“zebra” effect. We assume that the files where captured with at least one
Router in between so the MAC's are different.
After you clicked on the shown package in the error window it gets selected in
the background.

To start select statistics->compare...
I stored the file in the gtk folder of the project.
I also did some fuzzy testing: ./editcap -E 0.05
/root/Desktop/hei_test_capture_v2 /root/Desktop/fuzzyfile.pcap, which looked
good so far.
A test capture is attached.

We hope this feature is useful to Wireshark.

Regards
Vincenzo Condoleo
