Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Setup the filter as string instead of frame[start offset:length]

["Kumar, Chandan (Chandan)" <chandan.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My request as follows:

Could you, please help me to make change in Wireshark so that I would be able to select IE by means of filter like others element?

 

I want to make IE’s as a filterable field instead of displaying frame [start offset: length]

 

Did some change for this into epan/proto.c file in Wireshark – 1.6.2

Line number---->6934

 

ptr += g_snprintf(ptr, (gulong) (buf_len-(ptr-*filter)), "frame[%d:%d] == ", finfo->start, length);   

 

this line I have change like

ptr += g_snprintf(ptr, (gulong) (buf_len-(ptr-*filter)),"%s == ", finfo->rep->representation);

 

I am able to see the strings which want to make filterable using (Apply as filter ---> Selected) but some wrong message windows came & stop the parsing for new filter.

Attaching two snap shot 1^st with the Wireshark filter & 2^nd what I have implemented.

 

                                                       

 

 

Thanks
