Hey all, is there a way to dynamically generate part of a dissector? For example reading a database (sqlite/xml/etc.) and use that at run time to generate the dissector? Are there any dissectors that already do this ?
I wrote a dissector in Lua that reads a text file that describes many different message layouts: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/LLUDP_Dissector It should be possible to use the standard Lua modules for reading a database from a Lua dissector. But I haven't tried that. -- Robert G.
