Revision history [back]
In Wireshark we have a script that generates a C dissector from an ASN.1 description with help of conformance files and a template. The resulting C code makes use of basic PER or BER helper dissectors. Unfortunately nothing similar exists for LUA. So if you were to write a LUA dissector for your protocol you would have to write it for the serialized data sent on the wire.
