Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] small feature request ...
what about in the middle disection window ... say for example i wanted to
copy a window size or header length from a tcp packet directly to the
clipboard ... in fact it would be really nice if the menu was plugable
altogether or @ least where an external program could take the packet data
and do something w/ it ... for example in say snort ... something like
"Create rule from packet ...", etc.
ctl + c doesn't seem to work for me @ all on the widget ...
