I have build wireshark 3.2.1 from source on Ubuntu 18.04 and placed the Lua script in the Global plugins directory. However, the script fails when to find the Geonetworking protocol when I invoke it in the script: Dissector.get("gnw"):call(newTvb, pkt, root) So I tried another approach: gnw_dissector = DissectorTable.get("ethertype"):get_dissector(35143) The protocol gnw (GeoNetworking) corresponds to an EtherType of 35143 in my Wireshark protocols configuration. However, this also fails to find the "gnw" protocol. How can I get wireshark to detect the GeoNetworking protocol from my custom Lua script? Thanks in advance. The function DissectorTable.get("ethertype"):get_dissector(35143) <https://wiki.wireshark.org/LuaAPI/Dissector#dissectortable:get_dissector.28pattern.29> https://wiki.wireshark.org/LuaAPI/Dissector#dissectortable:get_dissector.28pattern.29 gets the handle of the built in GNW dissector as far as I can tell. Is that what you want? Why do you want to replace the existing dissector? (If that’s what you are trying to do). Regards Anders
