Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Network data mining

[David Corrales <corrales.david@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I'm studying the possibility of writing a Wireshark plugin to do network 
data mining for a thesis work. It would basically go through the 
filtered packets and analyze them using a given set of methods. This way 
I get to use the functionality of filtering and sorting already embedded 
for free :) and it's much more consistent with the rest of the user 
experience.

I'm knowledgeable with C, networking and Linux so that shouldn't be an 
entry barrier. I've already successfully compiled and fired Wireshark on 
my laptop.

Having said that, I have never done any coding for the Wireshark project 
so... what would be your advice to start this project?

Regards,
-David
