All,
Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Charles Wyble. I am the
lead developer on the open source exchange replacement project. I am
working with lkcl (www.lkcl.net) on mapi and exchange reverse
enginering. I would like to take over maitenence of the mapi
dissector. Does any one have any objections to this? My website fyi is
http://www.thewybles.com/~charles . I am in the process of writing up
dociumenation on the whole exchange/mapi decode thing. Look for it
within the next few weeks :)
Hi Charles!
The development model of Ethereal is: Someone (in this case you) are
developing some extensions to an existing dissector (or creates a new
one), and then creates and sends a patch to this list. One of the core
developers (probably not me) will review the patch and check it into the
subversion repository. However, it's always a good idea to ask this list
(as you've done :-) so double effort will be reduced if someone else is
working on the same topic.
So patches are welcome :-)
Why don't you send them to me?
Hi Richard. We have talked before. Nice to interact once again. Sure. No
problem with sending patches to you.
Also, are you aware of Tim Potter's work to
auto-generate a dissector from IDL?
Yes I sure am. It is a nice piece of work. I am slowly getting up to
speed on the whole reverse engineering deal. There is ethereal. Then the
samba tools. Then the tpot stuff. All very cool. All moving very fast.
And I am in the middle of it trying to keep all the threads in view. And
I simply love it!
If you are working on generating the IDL, then Tim's work should help you
reduce the development cycle.
Thank you for the pointer.
Regards
