Synergy is a tool allowing multiple computers (clients and a server) to share a
single keyboard and mouse (server). It supports Windows, Linux, MacOS... Many
have found it very useful to control multiple machines without cluttering the
desk with multiple keyboards, mice. The project kind of withered at
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/. However, it has been forked and is actively
maintained at http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/.
The protocol was changed in version 1.3.1 prior to the fork to add a keep alive
mechanism. This is not supported in the dissector for Wireshark. It is
actually helpful to be able to enter the following filter when troubleshooting
those packets: 'synergy and not synergy.calv', which removes a lot of
un-interesting packets.
I have attached a very simple patch to add the 'calv' packet type. This patch
only involved adding a few lines of code to the existing packet-synergy.c
dissector. I will also attempt to attach a example capture file in the wiki,
since there does not appear to be any synergy related capture files. Although,
I don't have access to do that yet...
