I am currently endeavoring to modify/create a Wireshark dissector. I am going to develop on Windows. I have followed the instructions at http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html successfully. My questions are: where do I go from here?
Is there a particular protocol/dissector you're interested in working on or creating? If you're starting a new dissector for a protocol that Wireshark doesn't already support, try copying the sample code from the README.developer file in the doc directory of the Wireshark source tree. Also look at other protocol dissectorsw already in Wireshark and feel free to liberaly copy as long as your code is GPL too :).
I apologize for these stupid questions, and the ones I will undoubtedly ask when I actually start coding.
Don't worry about it.
