Parsing ASN.1 in Lua
I'm looking for an ASN.1 parser for Lua, does this exist or can it be done? My knowledge of C is zero hence the preference to use Lua.

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.

Don't know if it is going to be repetitive, but in such case, I'd suggest to write a parser (in any language you want - I've used MATLAB) from your format to LUA.
Note that there are many tricks that it is advised to use to make it easier/more generic. For example - you are limited to 200 variables. However, there is solution if you need much more - define one global variable and make it "as struct" which contains all the variables. In such way you can have it generic.
