Hi Frederic, As Joao noted, there are several useful Lua examples are listed on http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua/Examples .
I checked the "Trivial Protocol" dissector on http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua/Dissectors , and it works fine with the latest wireshark in Sid. It could be added to the package as an example. I attached the patch i used to enable Lua support. Regards, Balint
