NP++ Wireshark Dissectors Available

Posted on May 11 2009 by Matthew Jakeman

I am uploading the dissectors I modified for use with Wireshark. Although the NP++ code and accompanying applications have not yet been released these dissectors will be needed to be able to view the contents of the NP++ Neighbour Discovery options that are used.

Links to the files are below.

packet-ipv6.h
packet-icmpv6.c

These files were modified from the originals in the “wireshark 1.0.4 (SVN Rev 1)” version of Wireshark. The easiest way to use them is simply download the 1.0.4 version of Wireshark here and replace the 2 files in /path/to/source/epan/dissectors/. Then run the normal ./configure, make, make install process to install it.

I haven’t got around to moving the code to a later version of Wireshark yet but will do in due time. I will also make a full version of Wireshark available for download with the replaced files contained in it at some point.
