Hello,

my company has a lot of protocols where the full definition is available in
ASN.1. The messages are BER encoded. I found out that ethereal has some sort
of BER decoder and i wonder how to use or extend it to support our own
protocols.

So, my question is: Is there a ASN.1 interpreter (subsequent to the BER
decoder) included? If not, how do i bash my own ASN.1 definitions into that
framework? I was thinking about pushing the definitions through a asn.1
compiler and hack the output into some sort of framework which fits into that
asn.1 stuff in Ethereal.

Are there more specific pointers about that subject?

Hope that's the right list here, thanks,
Alex.
