Hello, I am Michelle and I work at Spirent Communications. We have been building Wireshark for many years because we had a proprietary signature field that we needed to decode and give to our customers. We are looking to open source our signature field and would like to put our packet dissectors into the Wireshark codebase. Before we get started on going through the process of committing and reviewing the changes into Wireshark I wanted to find out if this is something that is allowed and would get approved (after following the process of course).
As Dario has already said, there should not be any problems. You will have to release the changes under the GPL, though. As a matter of interest, is it a separate protocol or is it an addendum to an existing protocol?
Also we have some changes we have made to other packet dissectors that we will be pushing upstream and as we make new changes putting them back into the community.
Anything that improves existing dissectors is welcome. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操)(传说杜康是酒的发明者) ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
