Creating Your Own Custom Wireshark Dissector

Wireshark is a powerful open source tool used to dissect Ethernet packets. Have you ever wondered what it takes to implement your own custom dissector? Furthermore, have you attempted to learn Wireshark's API and found it difficult to understand? This article will attempt to demystify the development of your very own protocol dissector. This article uses Amin Gholiha's "A Simple IOCP Server/Client class" [^] as a basis for dissection, thus producing the AMIN protocol.
