Run a lua script on Wireshark without Lua

0

Hi everyone,

I am using a wireshark version (1.0.15) without Lua on a server without root privilege. I need to run a lua_script but this could not be loaded as the version is without Lua. I could not find init.lua in global configuration folder. I have copied init.lua file to personal configuration folder. However, it still doesn't work. Hence, I would like to ask whether there is a way to execute a lua_script on wireshark without Lua.

Thanks a lot, Andy

I would think not. If Wireshark is compiled without LUA, code to handle LUA will be missing from the resulting binary.
