Extract Information from Wireshark

Hi community!

Our project aims to analyze the pcap file based on the dissection data we get from Wireshark.

I would like to know if there is any interface I can use directly to extract the information provided by wireshark, such as source address, destination address, and any other protocol specific information.

I know lua script can get the dissection data easily, with "Field" object. For example, to get the source address of a ipv4 data frame, use Field.new("ip.src"). But it is not a generic solution. It becomes cumbersome when we want to support many protocols.

So, is there any function to get information like protocol name, data for a certain field. Or is there any command in Tshark?

I hope I addressed my problem clearly and thanks for taking time to read my question!

Kind Regards

For a couple of fields, especially fields with only one occurrence per packet, the easiest way is to use tshark -T fields -e <field1> -e <field2> .... If you need the full dissection tree for the relationship between fields, the PDML output (-T pdml) or the JSON output (-T json) might be better options. Have a look at tshark -h or the manpage for all kinds of output options.

Here is an example of the -T fields output:

$ tshark -r icmp-vlan-test.pcapng -T fields -e vlan.id -e ip.src -e ip.dst
