Im Ronnie sahlberg, one of the developers of ethereal. By request of some users I have found an old patch by Christoph Scholz to ethereal for a dissector he wrote for the bluetooth stack in 2002. Christoph's email address unfortunately does not work now after 4 years :-( Since the patch is 4 years old it does not apply to ethereal svn any more since too many internal APIs have changed. I am however massaging and refactoring it for inclusion and have included some of the protocol stack into ethereal already. Ethereal reads the files generated by some tool called 'hcidump' (i am not a bluetooth guy, im a san/nas guy so im not read up on your tools) I am currently refactoring the L2CAP layer and would really benefit from having some more example captures to work and verify with before i check this layer in. In particular I am looking for L2CAP captures containing command packets with InformationRequest/Response, and connectionless reception channel packets. I would also like some captures where the ACL layer contains L2CAP pdus that are fragmented across several ACL packets and a description on how the fragmentation works for bt. This is to start with, to proceed even further I would really benefit from having as many and as large captures as possible to verify with. The more the merrier. Anyone that can provide captures with these kind of packets, and who want me to refactor the patch so that it can all go into mainline ethereal, PLEASE send me such hcidump captures. best regards ronnie sahlberg (I am not subscribed to this list since i am not really that interested in bluetooth but it is a shame to let this patch diverge more than it already has and support for bt would benefit some users. Please send me as many hcidump captures as possible. please. thanks) ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
