Hi,
I am using Ethereal to analyze TCP and
UDP packets containing data conforming to our own internal protocols and it
would be helpful to be able to add a packet dissector for these
protocols. The developer documentation gives some guidance on this, but I
have a couple of questions: I am using the Windows version of Ethereal
and have the MS Visual Studio.NET 2003 compiler suite (I also have Borland
C++Builder6). The documentation states that it is not possible to build Ethereal
from the sources using the MS compiler, but does this restriction also apply to
plug-in dissectors? There are also include files, libraries etc. which
are needed to create a dissector. Do I have to download the complete
source code package in order to get these, or are they available in a
convenient “packet dissectors” development kit?
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards,
