-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi Steve
Thanks for that email. This really helped a lot. I thought I had to do a module. This does look way easier indeed. I'm gonna start my work there. I don't intend to add new GUI functionality. I intend to hack wireshark to do work it wasn't intended to do, but I'm very optimistic it'll do just great. I hope to get it up and running quickly and maybe have a screenshot soon :> wrl Stephen Fisher wrote: > On Fri, Dec 28, 2007 at 10:47:57AM +0100, warlord wrote: > >> So all I am looking for now is a very simple example dissector which I >> can compile and use in Linux.
