Hi everyone,

I'm studying the possibility of writing a Wireshark plugin to do network data mining for a thesis work. It would basically go through the filtered packets and analyze them using a given set of methods. This way I get to use the functionality of filtering and sorting already embedded for free :) and it's much more consistent with the rest of the user experience.

I'm knowledgeable with C, networking and Linux so that shouldn't be an entry barrier. I've already successfully compiled and fired Wireshark on my laptop.

Having said that, I have never done any coding for the Wireshark project so... what would be your advice to start this project?

Regards,
-David
