I’m trying to determine why the “Decode
As” context menu option
1) is sometimes
grayed out
2) does not
present all the available protocols in its list
Is there an override possible somehow?
If the user is certain that protocol FOO starts at offset X
then it would be good to have a way of forcing that protocol decode at that
point (regardless of the selected position in the packet etc.). Of course, as
with the existing “Decode As” support, if the user got it wrong
then the decode won’t work but this fallback approach (without the need
for code change) does cater for those occasions where the required dissection
is not implemented or is wrong etc. What would we need to change/be extended to
enable this?
Thanks
Will
