If not, I can give it a try.One possibility would be to take rpcgen: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/rpcgen/ and modify it to generate dissector source - rpcgen takes a description of an ONC RPC protocol, so it might need to be tweaked to handle XDR without the rest of RPC.Great, thanks to both Guy and Jaap for their suggestions. I also looked at PLY (http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/ply.html) but that seems to involve a fair amount of work and would be similar to the approach I took with the SMB dissector a long time ago. I will look at both of those and see which will be easier of the three approaches I have so far. Modifying a version of rpcgen has some attraction since it means that the same tool can be used to generate a Wireshark dissector as is used to generate the stubs etc.
OK, so it looks like modifying rpcgen is going to be the fastest. It has pretty much all I need, I just need to add a function or two ... I could have something that works in a couple of days. I am using glibc's version ... wonder if I could get it accepted upstream. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
