Hello,

wireshark is a sniffer which passively monitores network traffic and
shows this in a human readable fashion.
I don't believe that you can inject faults with that, because it can't
modify the data it records. (AFAIK)

What you need is a kind of proxy that you can but in between of client
and server to inject faults.
Maybe you can use the wireshark code for parsing the protocol,
but not to inject faults.

regards,
Gerhard.
