Ethereal Dissector

 

A plug-in dissector is required for a pair of proprietary protocols; VDCP and VRCP. The plug-in should permit the selection of either protocol for parsing. Having both protocols active at the same time would be desirable but it is not essential.  Ethereal captures files will be provided for test and development purposes.  Candidates should contact tstaros@xxxxxxxxxx directly.

 

Protocol Ports

 

The port that the VDCP server listens on is 6010. It is desirable that the dissector read the port value from a text file so that should a change be required it may be done without re-compiling the dissector.

 

The port that the VRCP server listens on is 4001; again this is configurable and the dissector should acquire the value from a text file.

 

Should either of the above port numbers be missing from the text file, or the text file itself not be present the dissector should use the given default values.

 

Development Environment

 

So that the dissector plug-in may be maintained for future protocol additions and changes it is most desirable that it be developed with Microsoft tools. Both Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio .NET are available for this maintenance.

 

Deliverables

 

         Initially:

 

  • Cost estimate for implementation of dissector plug-in
  • Time estimate (elapsed) for delivery
  • Timeline for development with measurable goals.

 

Upon project execution:

 

  • Ethereal plug-in dissector as described (Dynamic Link Library for Win32)
  • Full annotated source code. (Microsoft VS.Net compatible)
  • Brief descriptive document outlining the structure and operation of the code.

 

Compensation

Compensation structure is negotiable.  May be transacted w/ escrow through Guru.com or Rentacoder.com.
