Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Hex Stream Decode (SCCP)

From: Hoosain Madhi <madhih@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Good day

We are trying to decode a HEX stream that part of a Q3 message generated on a Siemens STP (SSNC). The output in Q3 format is shown below. The part that we interested in is the messageDump reproduced below for convenience.  The Dump is in Hex Format and is actually an SCCP message. We Need to decode this message in a human readable format.

1. Any idea on how to convert to a format that Wireshark will understand?
2. This message may require a dummy MTP layer to be added.
3. Commercial protocol analyzers require a 00000F appended to the beginning of the message.
