Hello
Chris,
I'd
say that it's possible. I'm doing a thesis work in the same direction, though
not using XML but a language I constructed for this (Yet Another Language, I
know... ;) and it's going quite well.
I
haven't announced this before, but as I'm near completion of the work (it's
probably nowhere near complete for advanced users (read developers), but still
something to prototype/not having to recompile all the time benefits) I think
it'd be ready for announcement anyway, Wireshark is open source after
all.
Regards,
Tobias
I have been tasked to determine if
its possible to write a dynamic dissector for wireshark which reads an XML file
for the message structures/protocol information. I have been reading the
dev docs but havent really been able to affirm or deny the possibility. I
know RTFM is the best way, but with my big wig meeting coming up tomorrow.. I
wanted to ask the list and see what you guys had to say.
Thanks for reading and Im hoping
this worked out.. been using ethereal for years.. now to wireshark! I hope to be
able to finally contribute.
Regards,
Chris
