Bug ID 11398
Summary World of Warcraft Dissector is out of date
Product Wireshark
Version 1.12.1
Hardware x86
OS All
Status UNCONFIRMED
Severity Major
Priority Low
Component Dissection engine (libwireshark)
Assignee bugzilla-admin@wireshark.org
Reporter blue-t@web.de 

Build Information:
Version 1.12.1 (Git Rev Unknown from unknown)
--
[wireshark.git] / epan / dissectors / packet-wow.c
This file was created in 2009 and the game has evolved in the last 6 years.

The result is that a perfectly formed login sequence gets marked as "malformed"
and most of the packages on the wire get reported as "unknown type"

For example:

3339    156.746516000    MYCOMPUTER iir.blizzard.com    WOW    1466   
Authentication Logon Challenge[Malformed Packet][Malformed Packet]

3356    157.624977000    MYCOMPUTER iir.blizzard.com    WOW    1466   
Unrecognized packet type (0x12)

There are emulators out there like https://github.com/TrinityCore which should
help to update this dissector

There are branches for each of the major game patches at
https://github.com/TrinityCore/WowPacketParser
