Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Is there a way to get a tcp sequence number from my plugin?

Hello,


I’m dissecting a protocol that doesn’t have a good message structure.  This protocol is a TCP based protocol.  There is no packet header that tells me what type of message I have. I’ve been using a conversation and state data to keep track but that also has issues when viewing previous packets.  Any packet previous to the current packet will not have correct state.  I’ve been trying to look for a way to use the TCP sequence number to aid myself.  Is there any easy way to get this from packet_info?

 

 

Thanks,
