Hello everyone,

   My name is Mihai and I'm new at wireshark developer list. Am in the last year in a romanian University and I have a bachelor paper to do. 

   My paper is about Wireshark, I have 2 months for it. What I would like to do is a wireshark firewall. What I mean by that is , that I would like to create from a wireshark filter, one entry in an ACL. Give the user the posibility to create more that one ACL, and apply from Wireshark the rules that you have created.

   Because I only have 2 months for it, I would only go to the port, ip and mac addresses, not to the application and conversation watching. 

   This all being told, I would really appreciate your help for this task. 

   My first question is : are those things already in Wireshark? I saw that there is already an ACL filter tab that creates an rule, which can be applied by the user later, but is there any way that Wireshark applies this ?

Best regards,

   Mihai
