Documentation/Use of new protobuf dissector
In the release notes for 2.6.0 it indicates a new dissector has been added to wireshark for protobuf.
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnot...
However, there is no mention of it in either the user or developer documentation.
I have a couple questions:
- How to provide the .proto file?
- It looks like it doesn't detect fields that contain other fields, and only detects the top level fields. Am I using it wrong?
Thanks.
I would also really like to be able to have a preference where I could e.g. map from UDP port -> .proto file (where presumably the last/root Message type from the file is what would be used). The last comment from last month here https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/s... gives me hope that Huang Qiangxiong will put up something for review soon.
The 2 issues appear to be related - I don't think you can reliably dissect into embedded messages without knowing the types from the .proto files.
