Hello Wireshark Devs, My name is Evan Kvidera and I am a senior undergraduate student studying Computer Science. I have a decent amount of programming experience, but only a little in C. My employer has asked me to try to add support for piping pcap-ng captures to Wireshark. I have read over the bug report requesting the feature, https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11370. After reading the mailing list archives here, https://www.mail-archive.com/wireshark-dev () wireshark org/msg33336.html, it looks like this addition will be nontrivial, but doable, and that the changes necessary are all going to be in dumpcap. I have at least a month or two of full-time work I can dedicate to this if necessary, although I am hoping it will not take that long. I have read through the Wireshark Developer's Guide and looked over the style guide for Wireshark. Is there anything else I should know before starting development? I will try to develop this as independently as possible, but I may have a few questions along the way.
Hi Evan, I looked at this back in 2012 and even proposed a patch that might be useful to you: http://seclists.org/wireshark/2012/May/25 No doubt it was a little too simplistic but if I find some time next week while I am in Seattle I might try to resurrect it and see if it works. -- 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://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
