Hi, I am new to PPP. I request your help in answeing the following query. I had a request from one of my colleagues who is using Wireshark 1.4.0 on Windows to decode PPP packets. Its regarding the Peer Id and password fields in PPP PAP messages. Why are they limited to showing only the length and not the whole contents? For eg: the dissecting of the PAP message goes on something like this: ... - PPP Password Authentication Protocol Code: Authenticate-Request (0x01) Identifier: 0x01 Length: 22 - Data (18 bytes) - Peer Id length: 8 bytes Peer-Id (8 bytes) - Password length: 8 bytes Password (8 bytes) Why is the Peer Id and the password contents not shown? Thanks, Srinivasa Pradeep ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
