Hi,
I'm looking at en NULL encrypted ESP payload, trying to display it in Wireshark, in order to do so
The preferences
"Attempt to detect/decode NULL encrypted ESP payloads" must be "ticked" ( No supprise)
"Attempt to detect/decode encrypted ESP payloads" must be "un-ticked" is that realy corrrect? Or should this patch be applied?
