Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] need to read pcaps to develop a display system for the packe
Why not write a dissector for your proprietary protocol and distribute it only within your company only (if that's what you are about)? That would allow you to:
- Work with the familiar interface of Wireshark and use all the facilities available
- Use tshark to export the fields of your protocol into something like PDML and use that XML for input into another application.
Hope that helps
Abhik.

Yeah. looks pretty like that for now. The basic requirement would be like having a utility, to which pcaps can be input and the out put should be our proprietary fields of the packet displayed in a graphical format(maybe using c or pyhton itself.)
But I have no clue as of now about how to proceed further. Any suggestions and pointers to acvance me further would be greatly appreciated.

IMHO it would be great if wireshark would have ncurses frontend :) Cheers. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list < wireshark-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
