SBE Wiresharker

Blurb:

This project allows the generating of wireshark dissectors in Lua.

Features:

• High test coverage
• Supports multiple SBE schemas in a single dissector
• Supports SBE schemas enveloped within other SBE schemas
• Supports use of frames like Simple Open Framing Header (as long as they are fixed length)
• Dissectors will attach themselves to whatever port ranges you provide
• Complies with SBE 1 specification
• Will decode messages sent with a newer version of an SBE schema
• Handles fragmentation of message stream across multiple TCP packets

TODO:

• Add a command line API instead of relying on programmatic invocation
• Split out tests into more manageable suits
• Add support for decoding messages sent with an older version of an SBE schema
• Find a neater way of representing tests (lots of XPath complexity exposed in tests)

Notes:

• Only programmatic invocation is currently supported
• When providing multiple SBE schemas, they must not overlap on schema IDs
• The tests require tshark (ships with wireshark) to run
