Hi, I'm new in Wireshark development; I've just coded my first dissector for one of our company-specific protocols, and I'm going to write the next.
However my impression is, that simple protocols might be described pretty well by structured texts/files (e.g. XML files), because most of my code is just about formatting the data (texts, values, etc.) and defining the tree structure. Defining protocol dissectors in text metafiles for Wireshark would have many advantages: no need for installing the whole development environment for adding just a simple protocol, moreover it would be no software development work any more to add protocol to Wireshark. Is there any existing possibility to define dissector from meta-file instead of coding, or is there any ongoing development in this direction? Thanks, Tamas ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
