wireshark-scsi

This repository contains 2 primary things, the first is the draft/living standard for the LINKTYPE_PARALLEL_SCSI format, the second being the wireshark dissector for said linktype format, along with more rich SCSI dissectors.

Building

You need the following prerequisites

• git
• meson
• ninja
• g++ >= 12 or clang++ >= 15
• wireshark

To setup the meson project:

$ meson setup build

Then to build:

$ ninja -C build
$ ninja -C build install

The dissector will be in build/src/wireshark/parallel_scsi.so, it can be installed by symlinking it to $HOME/.local/lib/wireshark/<VER>/epan/parallel_scsi.so

Building On Windows

To build the Wireshark dissectors on windows, first go though the steps in the Windows Build Instructions in the Wireshark developer manual to ensure you can build Wireshark correctly. One change is to replace the line set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11) to set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20) in the base CMakeLists.txt file in the Wireshark source root directory. Once that is done, you can follow the steps below:

1. copy the contents of the src/wireshark/ directory into the plugins/epan/parallel_scsi directory in the Wireshark source tree. You will need to create said directory.
2. In the root of the Wireshark source directory, change the name of CMakeListsCustom.txt.example to CMakeListsCustom.txt and add the path to the parallel_scsi dissector to the CUSTOM_PLUGIN_SRC_DIR set statement, it should look like the following:

   set(CUSTOM_PLUGIN_SRC_DIR
   	plugins/epan/
   )

3. Run the Wireshark build, if everything goes correctly then the native dissector will be in run/<BUILD_TYPE>/plugins/<WS_VERSION>/epan/ directory as parallel_scsi.dll

This file can then be used put in your local Wireshark plugins directory and used.s
