Getting user input for dissection

0	Hi, In wireshark is there any way I can get input from user at run time and use that information to dissect packet information. The user information will be basically used to assign names to dissected fields. development asked 29 Feb '12, 19:04 ashish_goel 0●12●12●15 accept rate: 0%

You may want to look into UAT's, see epan/uat.h. These can be used in dissector preferences, they're used for example by the HTTP dissector.

thanks jaap for your reply.. But where in the user submits the input and how this information gets available to dissect_XXX() function of the dissector.

Please look at the HTTP dissector. Look for header_name and header_desc, and UAT.

You have a trillion packets.

You need to see four of them.

Don't have Wireshark?
