Bitcoin Dissector
A wireshark dissector for the bitcoin protocol. The packet-bitcoin.c dissector was originally taken from https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/commit/d4eeeaf6d463f930c89e9026b682339e1e114b34
Build instructions:
- Download wireshark source either from http://www.wireshark.org/download/src/all-versions/ or https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark
- Clone this repository (outside the wireshark directory)
- Copy the packet-bitcoin.c file from this repository into epan/dissectors in the wireshark directory (either copying the file or creating a symlink)
- Rebuild Wireshark by running make && sudo make install
- run the decoder test in this repository ./test-decoder
- Wireshark dependencies
Building wireshark has a lot of dependencies. On ubuntu, I had to apt-get the following:
automake autoconf pkg-config libtool-bin python bison byacc flex libglib2.0-dev libqt4-designer libqt4-opengl libqt4-svg libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 qt4-dev-tools libpcap-dev
