Hi,

How do you imagine 'apply' from a user application like Wireshark? What kind of interface should it communicate through to the firewall? Firewall is a generic term, there are hundreds of types, which one do you target?

Thanx,
Jaap

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
