This is actually a decent article. It definitely has its technical issues, and things left out: It's odd that the author neglected to point out the extreme cross-platform capabilities of the product versus the other analyzers reviewed. He didn't mention the fact that not only does Ethereal decode a huge number of protocols not touched by the other products, but in general the quality and accuracy of the decodes is FAR beyond the other analyzers. He didn't even mention that Ethereal is the only product mentioned with an actual display filtering system (offset filtering during post-capture analysis doesn't count). Overall, though, not bad =)

Magazine has very nice things to say about Ethereal. A couple of quotes:
"Ethereal is one of the best open source programs ever made."

"Ethereal includes all the features that you typically find in a
protocol analyzer."
