Is it possible to call a packet dissector from external code?
Specifically, I’d be calling into the SMB/SMB2 dissectors from C#, though
I realize I’ll almost certainly have to write some C or C++ glue code to
get them talking to each other.
What I’m trying to do is use the Wireshark dissectors
as a reference implementation for automated testing of the SMB library my
company is developing (we can’t re-use the Wireshark dissector directly,
for both legal reasons – we’re a closed-source, commercial product –
and technical reasons).
I’ve read the developer README, as well as the docs on
writing a new dissector, and I’ve poked around the epan/dissectors/
directory, but I’m still unsure where to start or how exactly to approach
this. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Zack
