Hello, I am beginning Lua scripting in general and for Wireshark dissectors in specific. I am trying to write a basic script that reads an xml file that contains some values of fields in my packets. For this I require two modules(LuaXml and Bit), Bit is for some binary operations. I would like to know how to use these modules with Wireshark? I tried to use the LuaForWindows tool but it supports Lua 5.1 and my Wireshark version comes with Lua5.2 I tried to copy the dll file for LuaXml(downloaded directly from their website) to my Wireshark directory and it seems to work fine. But for the Bit module, I had to build the dll file myself using MSVC10 but then Wireshark crashes without any error(the typical Windows crash). I would like to know the proper way of integrating 3rd party modules into my Wireshark script. Thanks a lot in advance asked 09 Apr '15, 02:20  Amine Ahd |
One Answer:
I found another alternative that might help anyone in the future. instead of using a C library, I have found a pure Lua library that solved my problem. I had just to copy the .lua files inside the lua/ directory in Wireshark and require the library in my script. answered 09 Apr '15, 04:28 Amine Ahd |
