I suspect there are several guys (me included) that have started to
work on ASN1 parser for Ethereal.
The (uncompleted?) work by Gerald Combs was very impressive.
I haven't taken a look at this one below, but I'd be happy if we can
finally have one or the other implemented.
Shamefully, I also lack the time to finish it up :-(

Hi,
I think that a most useful project for Ethereal would be writing a
parser
that would compile ASN.1 definitions of an Application Protocol into an
Ethereal plugin.
I wonder if you would be interested in executing such project (could be
called ASN2ETH).
The basis of the project could be an open source asn.1 parser:
http://iiiasn1.sourceforge.net
What needs to be done is writing a source-code generator that adds code
to
the output of III-ASN-Parser to turn it into an Ethereal plugin.
I attached an example to illustrate the task. The file megaco.asn
contains
ASN.1 definitions of the Megaco protocol. The file megaco.h is created
by
the asn parser. (You see the structures from this one, so I did not
attach
the megaco.cxx)
The entry-level PDU is the MEGACO_MegacoMessage class. I think this
will
need to be set as user parameter in a configuration file.
So now you see the code that needs to be turned into an Ethereal
plugin.
Do you have the motivation/capacity for this project? I can do some
work as
well if you provide me with clear specifications/sample code.
Keep up the good work,
Andras Kovacs
