Protocol Buffer Wireshark Plugin

0
1

I am looking for a wireshark plugin for google protocol buffer. And I found this GPB Wireshark plugin (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-wireshark/)

Apparently only UDP….Is there a GPB plugin for wireshark that works for TCP?

The URL you found, hosts pretty much the only (well) known Protobuf dissector. There might be others, but they are apparently not published anywhere.

There is another project that does protobuf dissection however that's nothing you can 'just use' (I guess).

https://github.com/pathorn/sst-dissector

It's more something you could use as an example to build your own dissector.

So, these are your options:

Thanks for your suggestions. I have written the dissector by myself.

O.K. do you mind to share the code with the Wireshark community? If so, please submit your code for review.
