Hello, in your opinion how can I filter TCP traffic SYN/ACK packets that does contain window scaling options?

Can I use !(window_size_scalefactor == -2)?

(tcp.flags.syn==1 && tcp.flags.ack==1) && !(tcp.window_size_scalefactor == -2)

Window size scaling factor: -1 (unknown, start of session not captured) Window size scaling factor: -2 (no window scaling used)

Is Window Scale Kind 3? Can I filter TCP traffic SYN/ACK packets that does contain window scaling options this way?

tcp.option_kind == 3 && tcp.flags.syn==1 && tcp.flags.ack==1

dfilter: Add bitwise masking of bits
When complete, you could streamline the flag check into tcp.flags & 0x012 == 0x012.
I'm not sure that's easier to read but more compact.

@Chuckctcp.flags&18==18 is even more compact! ;-) I'm looking forward to this filter functionality in the next (major) release!

Check the Display Filter Reference for TCP fields.

tcp.options.wscale.shift is the option value in the packet.
tcp.options.wscale.multiplier is the Wirehark generated value for the multiplier.

Do you want to know if the options exists:

tcp.options.wscale.shift && tcp.flags.syn==1 && tcp.flags.ack==1

Or that it affects the window size:

(tcp.options.wscale.shift > 0) && tcp.flags.syn==1 && tcp.flags.ack==1

Chuckc, I wanted know if the options exists. Thank you for confirming that.
