Patent and Trademarks Office for registration and is pending approval. This indicates that the phrase so designated has been submitted to the U.S. The term 'WCNA Certification' is affixed with the trademark (�) symbol on the organization's home page. It doesn't really change the program itself at all, as far as I can tell. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us Does This Mean? We remain committed to the WCNA Certification program.

Our WCNAs may add the line 'Wireshark Specialist' to their certification designation, if they wish. Although we founded both programs with Gerald Combs, the creator of Wireshark, Riverbed states we cannot continue to use the names 'Wireshark University' or 'Wireshark Certified Network Analyst.' The certification program was therefore renamed to 'WCNA Certification' on June 19, 2019. Yes, it's true - Riverbed owns the Wireshark project. The name change was prompted by Riverbed's decision to 'monetize Wireshark assets' and charge a yearly license fee for non-exclusive usage of the name 'Wireshark' on our projects. Chappell says about the program name change that's been implemented at the newly christened website's home page (verbatim quote): Yesterday (June 26), I got an e-mail from Laura informing me about a change in her training and certification offerings, prompted by Riverbed's request for an annual fee to continue to use the Wireshark name in those offerings. (I know Laura from my Novell days she's been training and active in the protocol analysis field for 30 years or more.) Today, Wireshark is the most widely used IP protocol analyzer around, and is also the basis for a comprehensive training and certification program developed in large part by Laura Chappell. Thus, I've been aware of Gerald Combs' Wireshark software-based network protocol analyzer since it was first introduced under the name 'Ethereal' in the late 1990s. I've been working with IP protocol analysis since 1988 when I went to work for Excelan (acquired by Novell in 1989) and learned its LANalyzer product as part of my knowledge base for the Network Consultant job role that I filled at the time.
