Hi,
I am using Wireshark to try to analyze some MySQL database traffic on a
remote network behind a firewall. I have used tcpdump to get a file
which I then open in Wireshark for analysis.
I'm using Wireshark 0.99.4 (downloaded and installed yesterday) and
MySQL 5.0.24.
In the request packets from the client, I can drill down to MySQL
Protocol > Command and see, for example, "SELECT * FROM foo". In the
response packets, however, no data is displayed - I've pasted an example
below.
Is the MySQL protocol ... plugin, I guess ... unfinished? Did MySQL
change their API in version 5? I haven't tried installing a 4.x version
locally and sniffing that traffic. Might I have used some tcpdump flag
that's changing my data enough that Wireshark doesn't understand it?
I have searched all the wireshark docs I can find, and googled
unsuccessfully for "wireshark mysql" and variations. Any ideas on this,
or suggestions for further research are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rachel
