Shawn, If your protocol isn't very complex you can also try to prototype it in Lua. It is a lot easier to use as you don't have to recompile your dissector everytime you make a code change. Starting point: http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua Notes: 1 - The Windows binaries have Lua support builtin. 2 - Use Wireshark 1.2.6 as it has a couple of Lua bugs fixed (thanks Stig!) 3 - Use Wireshark 1.3.3 if you need to concatenate 64-bit integers (thanks Stig!) 4 - Wireshark 1.2.6 and 1.3.3 should be released today. Development builds are available here: 1.2.6 - http://www.wireshark.org/download/prerelease/ 1.3.3 - http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/ Regards, jpo On 2010-01-05 22:20 , Shawn Mayer wrote:
Hello, 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? I have programming experience with Java and vb.net, using BlueJ and Visual Studio respectively. It's the jump of getting the Wireshark code into an editable form that I am stuck at. What development software would you recommend if not Visual Studio, or how do I open/import it into Visual Studio? I apologize for these stupid questions, and the ones I will undoubtedly ask when I actually start coding. Shawn
