Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] regarding support of wireshark plugin (lua development)

[Benoit <benpaka.spam@xxxxxxxxx>]

You should look on your package manager where wireshark install it's own file:

on Ubuntu/Debian it is installed in: /usr/share/wireshark

Hope you will find it !!!

Otherwise try a : find / -name "init.lua"

Just checked Debian Lenny, it does include Lua, so does Ubuntu from Hardy up.
Too bad they still don't use privilege separation offered by dumpcap though.

Thanx,
