Things to do:
=============
1. Protocol dispatchers, allowing run-time setting of protocol "chaining"
(i.e., UDP port X calls dissector Y)
2. Loadable modules, closely related to the previous item.
3. Work on packet capturing in wiretap
4. I just discovered that sshd sets the SSH_CLIENT variable to source IP,
sort port, and destination port. 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?
5. Of course, packet defragmentating. IP, TCP, UDP, need to be reassembled
and re-analyzed.
6. I'd like to someday re-write the display filter routines to have a more
powerful syntax.
7. More on-line help, and neato things with the protocol tree and
right-clicks.
8. A GtkClist replacement, with dynamic columns.
9. A GUI capture/display filter creator.
10. Run-time configuration of tunnelling protocols -- display tunnelled
protocol as data or as a full-fledged protocol (which subtree do we put
it under?)
11. Run-time configuration of data shown in capture statistics window.
12. A GtkWidget for authors in the About box. We've got a lot of authors!
13. Finish moving GTK-dependent code into gtk/ subdirectory.
14. Display filters: support FT_STRING filters
15. Display filters: add regexes to strings and byte ranges
16. Atalk NBP dissector - see netatalk sources for structure defs (nneul)
17. Krb dissector - standard krb4 - from tcpdump (nneul)
18. Krb5 dissector - from scratch, need to use ASN.1 code (nneul)
19. IRC dissector
20. Make lines in GTK Tree (proto_tree GUI) user-selectable
