Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] New in Wireshark making a dissector

Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 12:36:39 +0200
Hi!

First of all, thanks for your help!
I will not use C language. I am learning LUA (only) and for this, I am
doing a dissector for protocol over TCP.

I have one question:

I want add subtree , a HEX value with 16bytes, but  buf max is 8 bytes,
when I tried more not works. I tried defining Protofield  like a string
and it works but I want to show in HEX . Why can do it?

local f_marker = ProtoField.string("myproto.marker", "MARKER", base.HEX)

  subtree = root:add(p_myproto, buf(0))
  subtree:add(f_marker, buf(0,16))


THANKSSS!!!

Hi Javi,
There is a painfully simple dissector for logcat I commited some time ago.
It could help getting the basic ideas how to register the dissector etc.:

Dissector:

Wiretap part (I/O for data source):

    Hi Javi,

    I wrote a dissector for the PCoIP protocol in the LUA language.  It's
OK but it would be far better written in C (as suggested by Alexis). 
You can find the LUA source code and some background information
regarding PCoIP at https://community.tribelab.com.  Full details of
the PCoIP header are not available - it's a proprietary protocol - but
it uses the ESP which is useful for tracking sequence numbers.  This
means that you could write a very simple dissector that dumped the hex
for the PCoIP Transport Header and then handed off to the existing
Wireshark ESP header.  It would be a great introduction to writing
dissectors.

    Best regards...Paul

    Hi!

    I am a studient at a University (UPNA).
    My challenge is make a dissector for a another protocol that is not
now dissected. I�m a noob, so I�m reading Developer�s guide. If you
have any advice, suggestion of protocol... or whatever, please tell
me!

    Thanks,
    Javi Guembe.
