Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Wish to Decode MTP2 message encapsulated inside UDP header

Hi,

if you have a hexdump you can use text2pcap and convert it
to a pcap file which is readable by Wireshark. It will show
the MTP2 packets...

Best regards

Hi,

I have got a mtp2 hex dump. I have written a trivial client/server program and running both on my system. I am passing this mtp2 hex dump on the udp socket using the client program. I use wireshark to capture the packet on my ethernet card. So, in this way, complete mtp2 message gets encapsulated inside an UDP packet. Wireshark is able to capture the UDP packet but not able to decode it. It shows the complete mtp2 packet as Data. I tried the same for SCTP packets and it was successfully decoded.

I also tried adding the following code to packet-mtp2.c file:
dissector_add("udp.port", 2906, mtp2_handle); /* 2906 is an arbitrary port */

compiled again, but still no success.

Although dissectors of both the protocols are present, I think, I just need to some how invoke mtp2 dissector after UDP dissector.

Can anyone help me please.

Thanks Regards,
Satish Chandra

Hi Satish,

Is the entire MTP2 packet encapsulated in a UDP datagram as it is?
What is the source of this UDP data stream? Just in case you are using
the Cisco paklog functionality, you need to Decode As syslog and try.
