Re: Unable to recognise DTLS packets

Hi,

2014-02-13 8:43 GMT+01:00 Tulika Bose <tulika.bose () tcs com>:

Hi
  Thanx a lot.I used the 'Decode as' option,and the DTLS header is getting
parsed correctly.But it caused an issue,that for some some of the DTLS
packets,the pprotocol field showed DTLSv1,while the other packets showed it
as DTLS,although all the packets are of the same version.Is there any
particular reason for such a difference in version.
  Secondly,I would like to get the packet displayed with the header
information,through command line using tshark,and redirect the output to a
text file.But when the filter string used is 'dtls',the file conatains no
entries.On the other hand,when the filter string used with the same command
is 'coap',packets get displayed,but then again the DTLS header is parsed as
CoAP.I would like to get DTLS packets decoded as DTLS through command
line.I am using version 10.4.Is there any other approach to do the same
using the same version,or I need to update it?


tshark -d option is your friend. See
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html for details.

Pascal.

Dear All,
   I have come across a problem with the display filter of dtls.The
version I am using is 1.10.4.I have some DTLS packets,where DTLS is used
over CoAP,and they have been captured in a .pcapng file. But when I
filter the packets using the string 'dtls',no packets get displayed.On
the other hand,when the filter string used is 'coap' or 'udp', packets
get displayed,because DTLS is using the same port as coap which is
5683.But the problem is that the wireshark cannot recognise the DTLS
header,it parses the same as the CoAP header,although these are actually
dtls packets.It would be very kind of you,if you help  me with the issue.

Thanks & Regards
Tulika Bose

Port 5683 is the default CoAP port and then the CoAP dissector is used
by default. You can right click on the Package in wireshark and then
click on "Decode As..." and select DTLS to decode it was DTLS.

Wen you want to use DTLS with CoAP I would suggest you to use a nightly
build or a 11.X version of wireshark, there are some improvements in
wireshark regarding these two protocols.
