Hello!

Is there a simple tutorial on the web where i can find some information about how to write a heuristic dissector.

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChapterDissection.html -> On this side i couldn't find anything about heuristic dissectors.

May you recommend a code snipet, where i can learn how to write a heuristic dissector by my own.

Where and how can i define the rules (pattern) that wireshark needs to find the corresponding dissector?
To what points do I have to pay particular attention when i write such a dissector?

Thanks in advance Tom(Germany)
