“ip.addr” has type FT_IPv4, not FT_STRING or FT_STRINGZ, which are the only two types that dissector_add_string() expects.

 

I think you will likely need to write your dissector as a heuristic dissector, making use of heur_dissector_add().  Try taking a look at doc/README.heuristic.

Hi,

I am writing a Fetion(a popular IM in China) dissector which can onlydistinguishedby server address.
Hence I write a dissector with followingproto_reg_handoff_fetion,

"void

proto_reg_handoff_fetion(void)

{

dissector_handle_t fetion_handle;

 

fetion_handle = new_create_dissector_handle(dissect_fetion, proto_fetion);

dissector_add_string("ip.addr", FETION_SERVER_ADDR, fetion_handle);

 

}"

 

However, it doesn't work. Can anybody help me with this question?

 

Thanks~
