well then in my case it would be NTLMSSP 'over TCP' because inside that
TCP connection there is nothing else but NTLMSSP (at least until the
NTLMSSP handshake is completed)

Thanks for your answer. To be honest I'm a bit surprised that wireshark
can not decode NTLMSSP when manually instructed to do so (given the TCP
payload).

A got that hint also from another person and I did try it but appearently
network monitor is unable to dissect it.

I'm sorry but I can't publish that data.

If wireshark has no dissector for WCF TCP I assume it is very rarely used
protocol?
