Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Tapping

["Luis Monge" <monge@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone.

I'm kind a new to ethereal and I'm trying to discover it's capabilities and
see if it does the work I need and, at the same time, if I can contribute to
the community.

1st question
Is it possible to write a tapping for an existing protocol without making
any changes on the source code (Assuming that the protocol doesn't have a
tap device installed on it.)?

2nd question
This may be kind of a dumb question but is it possible to call a dissectorY
from a tap for dissectorX? If so, how?

Thanks in advance,
Luis Monge.
