Is 5G NGAP/NAS Registration decode broken in 2.9.1.x versions

I just upgraded from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1 and can no longer decode 5G NGAP/NAS Registration msgs(Malformed Packet: NAS-5GS). I couldn't find the earlier versions of wireshark either and unfortunately I didn't stash the win64 .exe anywhere on my laptop. Are the older versions stored anywhere and still available.

@James, Oops, when reformatting your comment I might have chopped a bit off, sorry.

You can see all released versions here and the last few automated builds in the automated directory here.

Which version of NAS-5GS is using your product? Wireshark 2.9.1 is currently being upgraded to December 18 releases, that probably introduced some non backward compatible changes.

Ok - that may be the reason. I believe we're only at June or Sept levels. I found the 2.9.0 versions. Thanks.

hi, @James, could you kindly share a valid 5GS registration message pcap ? I tried to construct one by hand as following octets but it failed to be decoded by wirehsark : 0x7E,0x00,0x41,0x01,0x0B,0xF2,0x64,0xF6,0x29,0x5A,0xB6,0xA1,0x89,0x67,0x45,0x23

I did find the earlier versions of Wireshark to download: https://www.wireshark.org/download.html For some reason I had this one bookmarked: https://www.wireshark.org/download/au...
