That coupled with a destination IP -would give us enough information to carry out remote protocol capturing, -tcpdump over ssh: - - ssh remotehost tcpdump -s 2000 -w - filter, - -where "filter" filters out our own ssh packets (using the infromation -from $SSH_CLIENT). Any takers? - -*) Of course, packet defragmentation. We currently reassemble: - - IP fragments - IPv6 fragments - OSI CLNP segments - ONC RPC-over-TCP and DCE RPC fragments - 802.11 fragments - X.25 packets with M set - ATP fragments - EAP/TLS fragments - Fibre Channel fragments - Netware NDPS fragments - NBF fragments - Fragmented SNA BIUs - TDS (Sybase/Microsoft SQL Server) fragments - WTP fragments. - - and currently support, for many protocols running atop TCP and the - SMB pipe protocol, reassembling the data stream and breaking the - resulting stream into higher-level packets. We want to support that - for more TCP-based protocols; we might also want to reassemble: - - NBDS - PPP Multilink - - and possibly other protocols. - -*) I'd like to someday re-write the display filter routines to have a more -powerful syntax. - -*) More on-line help, and neato things with the protocol tree and -right-clicks. - -*) A GtkClist replacement, with dynamic columns, allowing columns to be -added, removed, or moved without having to exit and restart Ethereal. -(guy) - -*) A GUI capture/display filter creator (we have stuff to add fields to -display filters, but perhaps something such as what Network Monitor has, -to add AND/OR/NOT operators, would be useful) - -*) Run-time configuration of tunnelling protocols -- display tunnelled -protocol as data or as a full-fledged protocol (which subtree do we put -it under?) - -*) Run-time configuration of data shown in capture statistics window. - -*) A GtkWidget for authors in the About box. We've got a lot of authors! -We've currently banished the list of authors to the AUTHORS file and the -man page, which may be the right solution here. [DONE] - -*) Finish moving GTK-dependent code into gtk/ subdirectory. [DONE] - -*) Provide alternative user interfaces, e.g. other toolkits (Qt/KDE, -full GNOME, native Windows, native Aqua, etc.) and text-mode "curses". - -*) Kerberos version 4 dissector - standard krb4 - from tcpdump (nneul); -we have krb5, but not krb4 - -*) Build process: - - Merge epan/configure.in back into toplevel configure.in [DONE] - - Run make-version.pl only once per make - - --enable-static doesn't build on all platforms any more (e.g. Suse 9.0) - because all static builds are not supported on those platforms. Try to - link "as statically as possible" - - Support native win32 builds using auto-tools and gcc - - Move dissectors and supporting files into the epan tree - - Move plugins into the epan tree - - move libs/objects to be linked into LDADD_xxx where appropriate - - make heimdal detection work for everyone - -*) Allow packet summary and packet dissection as valid "fields" in display - filter tests: - - summary matches "(?i)response" - - dissection contains "Unknown" |
