Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Fixed position mode (packet list view).

[Jakub Mazur <kubsztal1978@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alexis,

thanks for the feedback. I will push the code on Gerrit soon, just need some more time to clean it a little bit and fix couple of issues. Indeed, at this point the code is in experimental phase.

Regards, Jakub

Hi Jakub,

We are always interesting by code contribution

to get review of core/dev, the better is to push your code on Gerrit, you can add WIP (work in progress) flag on commit message if the code is "experimental".

Cheers

Hello,

some time ago I've submitted the bug report 12137 as a feature request:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12137

In the mean time I've implemented a proof of concept and created a short

video with the explanation, what I'm talking about at all ;)

https://youtu.be/pr_lTM2VYmQ

In a nutshell: Wireshark doesn't allow to inspect/view/analyze data fields of

incoming and dissected packets in a real time during live capture. This is

very useful while developing any device when one is not interested in

analyzing all frames being sent, rather he'd like to know if device responds

properly on some external events. Capturing all packets and analyzing them later

(especially if frames are sent quite fast e.g. every 10 ms) can be quite

challenging. Fixed position mode addresses this inconvenience.

So please check the video (I've used a GPS simulator as an example of a device

under development) and let me know if you could be interested in adding such

a feature to the target branch. I can do full implementation, just a little

bit of help would be needed from fellow developers who know Wireshark architecture

by heart - for me this is still some kind of muddy place (2 months ago I knew

about Wireshark (and gdb) only one thing: they exist ;)

Regards, Kubsztal
