Have you looked at the various “tshark –G [report]”[1] options?

 

For example:

tshark -G heuristic-decodes | sort” will get you a sorted listed of HD’s.

tshark -G protocols” will get you a list of all supported protocols.

 

Run “tshark -G help” for all report types.

​​​​​

There are over 2000 Wireshark supported protocols, so if you only want such a small number of protocols enabled, I would suggest that you first use Wireshark to disable all protocols via “Analyze -> Enabled Protocols -> Disable All”, and then enable only those specific 15 protocols you want enabled.  That will create/update the disabled_protos file in your Wireshark Personal Configuration folder that tshark should honor.

Hi all,

 

How do I...

  1. ...list all available Normal Dissectors (ND) with Tshark?
  2. ...list all available Heuristic Dissectors (HD) with Tshark?
  3. ...dissect a large PCAP using only a selection of ~15 ND/HD with Tshark?

 

Thank you and regards, Marcin
