[Opensim-dev] SecondLife protocol dissector for wireshark.

[Robert G. Jakabosky]

Hello all,

I have written a wireshark protocol dissector for the SecondLife udp protocol.  
It is written in the scripting language Lua and can dynamically parse 
the "message_template.msg" file.  The information from the template file is 
used for mapping the message id's into message names and decoding all the 
blocks & variables in each message.  The level of detail is the same as 
SLProxy when it is dumping all packets.  With this dissector and wireshark it 
is possible to search packets my messages id or search for a packet that 
contains some text string.

I have uploaded the lua scripts to this wiki page:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/LLUDP_Dissector

One thing I would like to add is the decoding of some of the binary blob 
variables.  It would be very easy to add custom parse of a few select 
messages/fields.
