Hi Nan,

 

you can easily register to a MAC address or any other byte in a frame by using a heuristic dissector.

 

Register the dissector:

heur_dissector_add("eth", dissect_foo_heur, proto_foo);

 

 

Use this dissector function:

static gboolean dissect_foo_heur(tvbuff_t *tvb, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree)

{

  /* check if destination MAC equals 01:02:03:04:05:06 */

  if ( (tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 0) == 0x01) &&

       (tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 1) == 0x02) &&

       (tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 2) == 0xa3) &&

       (tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 3) == 0x04) &&

       (tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 4) == 0x05) &&

       (tvb_get_guint8(tvb, 5) == 0x06) )

  {        

    /* do dissecting */

  )

  else

  {

    /* MAC does not match */

    return FALSE;

  }

 

  return TRUE:

}

 

 

This works perfect for me.

Betreff: [Wireshark-dev] [HELP]How to dissect a packet without a protocol? It can only be digged out by its Dst Mac or Vlan I

 

Hi folks:
Im writing a plugin for a packet store in the payload of standard "802.1Q Virtual LAN" packet ,this packet does not have protocol itself, it can only be digged by its Dst Mac address or Vlan Id, how could I dissect such a packet?
I tried to use :
register_dissector_table() in  vlan.c to create dissector table for "vlan.id", and in the plugin I used dissector_add() tring to call the dissector, but wont work! so , should I also use : dissector_try_port(), what should I pass in these functions ?
Any information I can read and leanrn for these functions?
 
And last question, if I try to dig out the packet by its dst mac address, what should I do? I find out the address are in FT_ETHER type, how can I handle such types?
 
I went through readme.develper couple times, still know very little for wireshark, are there anymore documents will explain the functions and structure in more detail?
 
 
Really need help!Thanks millions!Any information will be greatly appreciated!
 
 
Nan
