John Thacker d2fd2eeb31 text2pcap: encap types option (instead of link type)
Add an option to text2pcap to specify the encapsulation type
via wiretap encapsulation type short names instead of pcap
link layer types, similar to editcap.

Update the documentation to reflect this.

John Thacker f85f077b54 text_import: Allow fake IP headers with Raw IP encapsulation
In text2pcap and Import from Hex Dump, allow fake IP headers with
the appropriate versions when the Raw IP, Raw IPv4, and Raw IPv6
encapsulations are specified. In such cases, do not add a dummy
Ethernet header.

Continue to reject other encapsulations besides these, Ethernet,
and Wireshark Upper PDU when appropriate. Add some checks for the
encapsulation type in text_import as well, instead of just assuming
that the callers handle it correctly.

John Thacker 21465962fd text2pcap: Use common capture type flag
Support all possible file formats that wiretap writes, using the
same "-F" flag that other CLI tools like editcap, mergecap, and tshark
support. Default is still pcap for now; a future commit will switch
to pcapng and remove the "-n" option, to match other CLI tools.

John Thacker ab347ea14e text2pcap: add regex
Add support in text2pcap for the regex mode added to "Import from
Hex Dump" in 3.6.0 The input and output indicators cannot (yet?)
be configured, and are set to the default of allowing any of "iI<"
for inbound and "oO>" for outbound. This reaches feature parity
between text2pcap and Import from Hex Dump, fixes #16724.
(There might be some more cleanups to do, including docs.)

The casts in dumpcap are ugly but necessary. The whole code needs
to be rewritten for portability, or the warnings disabled.

John Thacker c0933a18da doc: Update tshark manual for undocumented -z statistics
This commit includes all statistics / taps that exist up through the
3.4.x release. Another commit will handle the ones added in the 3.6
branch. Mention that statistics are unaffected by the display filter
(but are affected by capture and read filters, and usually have their
own filters) at the top rather than repeating the same boilerplate
in half the options.

João Valverde 19dcb725b6 epan: Remove STR_ASCII and STR_UNICODE
These display bases work to replace unprintable characters so the
name is a misnomer. In addition they are the same option and this
display behaviour is not something that is configurable.

This does not affect encodings because all our internal text strings
need to be valid UTF-8 and the source encoding is specified using
ENC_*.

Remove the assertion for valid UTF-8 in proto.c because
tvb_get_*_string() must return a valid UTF-8 string, always, and we
don't need to assert that, it is expensive.

John Thacker b5917d0182 wmem: Add a multimap
A number of protocols have IDs that can be reused that are used as
lookup keys. In most cases the frame number should be used as well
to differentiate repeat appearances of an ID. For response/request
matching, it is frequently useful to find the most recent frame number
(greatest value less than or equal to the current one) that contained
an ID.

We can achieve that by using a multimap that stores values with a given
ID in a tree keyed with the frame number. This works better than using
a map or a tree alone:

1) A map isn't ordered, so doesn't allow for less than or equal comparison.
2) Using a tree requires an ordering on all the ID components, and then
   having to test all the components other than the frame number separately
   for equality after retrieval.

Currently the multimap does not support inserting items without specifying
the tree key (and having the multimap generate a key), because the total
capacity of trees (including deleted nodes) is not tracked. If other use
cases are needed, this could be added later along with more generic
multimap support.

Use a multimap in ANSI MAP, ANSI TCAP, and GSM SMS, all of which need to
match lookup IDs that can be reused. Fix #7653.

Gerald Combs e2703507c2 Update a bunch of GLib documentation links.
Change our developer.gnome.org/glib URLs to
developer-old.gnome.org/glib. The official documentation for GLib
appears to be at https://docs.gtk.org/glib/, but it has a different
layout than the gnome.org content (and is surprisingly resistant to
exploration IMHO). We can switch to developer-old.gnome.org using a
simple substitution and it still seems to be updated, so do that for
now.

Guy Harris 6d96d8bbc2 Don't include config.h in the example plugin.
Wireshark's config.h isn't available to third-party plugins, and the
developers of the plugin might not even have their own config.h, so
don't include it in the example (if it *does* have its own config.h, the
developers will presumbly know that they should include it).

Guy Harris 2445180fa7 Don't use HAVE_CONFIG_H in sample code in the documentation.

João Valverde 237efe7b00 README.dissector: Reinforce a style recommendation. 2021-11-09 22:04:21 +00:00
João Valverde 070aeddf76 Lift restriction on upper case protocol display filter names
Unlike other header fields in filter expressions protocol names
cannot contain upper-case letters. Remove that restriction. This
should make start-up slightly faster as it remove an extra loop
for each protocol filter name.

This was added in 9ead15a6eb but
I don't see a reason to have different rules for protocols and
fields, it seems the README.developer was just being vague and
conflating PROTOABBREV with PROTOFILTERNAME.

The recommendation for lower case is a style recommendation,
and it's a good one, but it should be applied uniformly. As
long as we are not enforcing this for all field filter values
there is no point in enforcing it just for protocol names and
actually it is detrimental, e.g:

hi2operations
HI2Operations.IRIsContent
HI2Operations.UUS1_Content_element
HI2Operations.iRIContent
HI2Operations.iRISequence
HI2Operations.IRIContent
HI2Operations.iRI_Begin_record_element
HI2Operations.iRI_End_record_element
HI2Operations.iRI_Continue_record_element
HI2Operations.iRI_Report_record_element
(...)

It's weird and unexpected to have this difference and there is
no technical reason to require it. What we should probably do
is not include the protocol name in the FIELDFILTERNAME and
have the registration mechanism append it to the PROTOFILTERNAME.

Also disallow leading '-' everywhere in filter names, not just
protocol filter names. It's a universal requirement.

BUNDLE_RESOURCE_SHARE_MAN[14]_FILES shouold *not* have the generate_

they're generated into the doc directory of the top-level build
directory.

Gerald Combs 84ab55cf75 Docs+Packaging: Convert our man pages to Asciidoctor.
Convert doc/*.pod to Asciidoctor. This:

* Means we use the same markup for our man pages, the guides, and
  release notes.
* Lets us add versions to our man pages.
* Gives us more formatting options, e.g. AsciiDoc supports `commands`,
  nested lists and makes it easy to include version information. The
  manpage backend doesn't seem to support tables very well,
  unfortunately.

Convert our CMake configuration to produce *roff and html man pages
using Asciidoctor. Add a "manarg" block macro which makes our synopses
wrap correctly.

Similar to the release notes, guides, and FAQ, if Asciidoctor isn't
found the man pages won't be generated or installed.

Move Asciidoctor to the list of package build dependencies in various
places.

This commit includes the conversion script (pod2adoc.py), which will be
removed later.

Note "fake-field-wrapper" protocol for top level fields (including data,
which is converted from a protocol to a field for PDML).
Note "_ws.expert" protocol replaced by field, as with data.
Note that some dissectors place subdissected protocols in subtrees
instead of at the top level, and that this is _not_ changed, violating

Juha Takala 8bc52f542b Add tshark ringbuffer option '-b nametimenum:value'
This is used to select ringbuffer savefile name template.  Choose one of two
savefile name templates:

If value is 1, make running file number part before start time part; this is
the original and default behaviour (e.g. log_00001_20210828164426.pcap).

If value is greater than 1, make start time part before running number part
(e.g. log_20210828164426_00001.pcap).

The latter makes alphabetical sortig order equal to creation time order, and
keeps related multiple file sets in same directory close to each other (e.g.
while browsing in wireshark "Open file" dialog).

Triton Circonflexe d4de52690f Thrift: Complete handling of Binary & Compact protocols
- Make sure reassembly requests & errors are properly propagated from
  any point in the PDU, no matter how many sub-structure levels.
- Handle the sub-dissection methods as well:
  - Ensure the sub-dissection methods handle errors from previous calls.
  - Reduce the error handling needed in sub-dissector implementations.
  - Add missing sub-dissection methods for list, set, and map.
  - Add the handling of sub-structure.
- Handle Compact protocol in addition to the existing binary protocol.
  - Include and improve MR !3171
  - Handle reassembly the same way as for binary protocol.
  - Handle sub-dissection with the same functions.
    => Sub-dissectors only depend on .thrift files.

Additional changes:
- Use of constants instead of hard-coded values.
- Removed U64 support (never supported by thrift code generator, only
  referenced in the C++ thrift library header but not supported in reality.
- Removed references to UTF-8 and UTF-16 string for the same reason.
- Replaced references to UTF-7 string with just string (same reason).
- Replaced references to byte with i8 as the documentation explicitly
  states that byte is a compatibility name.

Documentation reference:
- https://thrift.apache.org/developers
- https://thrift.apache.org/docs/idl.html

João Valverde 133b0c583f Move epan/wmem/wmem_scopes.h to epan/
This header was installed incorrectly to epan/wmem_scopes.h.

Instead of creating additional installation rules for a single
header in a subfolder (kept for backward compatibility) just
rename the standard "epan/wmem/wmem.h" include to
"epan/wmem_scopes.h" and fix the documentation.

Now the header is installed *correctly* to epan/wmem_scopes.h.

Guy Harris 0a9ef601d2 Clean up handling of --capture-comment.
Don't store the comments in a capture_options structure, because that's
available only if we're being built with capture support, and
--capture-comment can be used in TShark when reading a capture file and
writing another capture file, with no live capture taking place.

This means we don't handle that option in capture_opts_add_opt(); handle
it in the programs that support it.

Support writing multiple comments in dumpcap when capturing.

These changes also fix builds without pcap, and makes --capture-comment
work in Wireshark when a capture is started from the command line with
-k.

Update the help messages to indicate that --capture-comment adds a
capture comment, it doesn't change any comment (much less "the" comment,
as there isn't necessarily a single comment).

Update the man pages:

- not to presume that only pcapng files support file comments (even if
that's true now, it might not be true in the future);
- to note that multiple instances of --capture-comment are supported,
and that multiple comments will be written, whether capturing or reading
one file and writing another;
- clarify that Wireshark doesn't *discard* SHB comments other than the
first one, even though it only displays the first one;
2021-07-15 05:43:36 +00:00
David Perry 67b54e8b66 tshark: allow --capture-comment when reading a file
Allows adding one or more capture comments to a new pcapng file when
tshark is reading from a file. Currently, tshark only allows setting one
capture comment, and that only when doing a live capture.

The use case for this feature is given in bug #15005.
I decided to allow multiple capture comments to match the same ability
in `editcap`.

To allow this change, I changed the function signature of
`process_cap_file()` so it takes a `capture_options` struct instead of
individual parameters that affect the capture.

Nardi Ivan c2d77d910d QUIC: improve "Follow QUIC Stream" support
This functionality has been added in d2a660d8, where its limitations
are described.
Improvements:
* the Substream index menu now properly filters for available stream numbers;
* Follow Stream selects the first stream in the current packet

Known issue (which is still there):  if a packet contains multiple QUIC
streams, then we will show data also from streams other than the selected
one (see #16093)

Note that there is no way to follow a QUIC connection.

Explain, in detail, exactly what it's trying to do and, for each of the
three commands in the example, what each step does, as well as
explaining what the calculation using the end time of one capture and
start time of another capture is doing.

(Where did this example come from?  What is the real-world goal of this
exercise?  And why is it an example in which all the fancy stuff is done
in commands *other* than mergecap?)

Gerald Combs 0ae9c3e8eb Docs: Remove the authors list from wireshark(1).
The AUTHORS section of wireshark(1) is about half the content of the man

how to use Wireshark.

Replace the list of authors with text that acknowledges their
contributions along with pointers to the AUTHORS file and the list on
the main web site.

João Valverde 8eacd615c8 Disable assertions for release builds
Currently our build generates very many warnings if
G_DISABLE_ASSERT is defined.

Add ws_assert() and ws_assert_not_reached() to incrementally
replace existing assertions and then disable them using
WS_DISABLE_ASSERT.

Assertions are disabled with CMake build type Release.
By default the build type is RelWithDebInfo so the current
behaviour of enabling assertions by default is (for now) preserved.

Add some notes to README.Developer.

João Valverde e4d4814168 Don't install HTML manuals twice.
Wireshark loads HTML files as resources from "/usr/share/wireshark"
on Unix-like systems and from the $build/run directory when run that
way. There are also other locations specific to other platforms and
packaging solutions and multi-config builds.

HTML manuals are installed both to "/usr/share/wireshark" and
"/usr/share/doc/wireshark" for Unix-like systems. For now install them
only to the former to avoid unnecessary clutter and duplication. The
manuals can be consulted using 'man' or launched in HTML format from
Wireshark's help menu (or found in $pkgdatadir instead of $docdir).

Eventually we may want to simplify that maze of locations for HTML
resources and have Wireshark load the manuals from $docdir instead
on Unix, and do the right thing for the other platforms, etc.
2021-03-29 20:20:11 +01:00
Guy Harris d18e1f19e9 Add dumpcap options to set the name and description for a capture source.
Add --ifname and --ifdescr to allow the name and description for an
interface or pipe to be set; this overrides the specified name or
reported description for an interface, and overrides the pipe path name
and provides a description for a pipe.

Provide those arguments when capturing from an extcap program.

This is mainly for extcaps, so you have something more meaningful than
some random path name as the interface name and something descriptive
for the description.

Guy Harris 9bd144b8ea tshark: clean u the way the -U option lists available taps.
Allow "-U ?" as well as an empty argument; an empty argument is a bit
counterintuitive.

Simplify the introductory line of output - asking for a list of taps
isn't an error in which the user failed to supply a tap name, it's a
case where the user suplied a request for a list of tap names.

Just use fprintf() to print the list, and indent the elements of the
list, as we do with other lists of valid arguments.

List the valid arguments if the user specified an invalid argument as
well.

David Perry b758fdaede Add iso8601_to_nstime() for editcap and nettrace
This adds a function to parse a string date-time in ISO 8601 format into
a `nstime_t` structure. It's based on code from epan/tvbuff.c and
wiretap/nettrace_3gpp_32_423.c and meant to eventually replace both.
(Currently only replaces the latter.)

Since most of Wireshark expects ISO 8601 date-times to fit a fairly
strict pattern, iso8601_to_nstime() currently rejects date-times without
separators between the components, even though ISO 8601 actually permits
this. This could be revisited later.

Also uses iso8601_to_nstime in editcap to parse the -A/-B options,
thus allowing the user to specify a time zone if desired. (See #17110)

Jeff Widman 8d7ebc732e Fix issues discovered by common python linters
Fix some issues discovered by common python linters including:
* switch `None` comparisons to use `is` rather than `==`. Identity !=
equality, and I've spent 40+ hours before tracking down a subtle bug
caused by exactly this issue. Note that this may introduce a problem if
one of the scripts is depending on this behavior, in which case the
comparison should be changed to `True`/`False` rather than `None`.
* Use `except Exception:` as bare `except:` statements have been
discouraged for years. Ideally for some of these we'd examine if there
were specific exceptions that should be caught, but for now I simply
caught all. Again, this could introduce very subtle behavioral changes
under Python 2, but IIUC, that was all fixed in Python 3, so safe to
move to `except Exception:`.
* Use more idiomatic `if not x in y`--> `if x not in y`
* Use more idiomatic 2 blank lines. I only did this at the beginning,
until I realized how overwhelming this was going to be to apply, then I
stopped.
* Add a TODO where an undefined function name is called, so will fail
whenever that code is run.
* Add more idiomatic spacing around `:`. This is also only partially
cleaned up, as I gave up when I saw how `asn2wrs.py` was clearly
infatuated with the construct.
* Various other small cleanups, removed some trailing whitespace and
improper indentation that wasn't a multiple of 4, etc.

There is still _much_ to do, but I haven't been heavily involved with
this project before, so thought this was a sufficient amount to put up
and see what the feedback is.

Linters that I have enabled which highlighted some of these issues
include:
* `pylint`
* `flake8`
* `pycodestyle`

Guy Harris 272502790b Add FT_STRINGZTRUNC.
FT_STRINGZPAD is for null-*padded* strings, where the field is in an
area of specified length, and, if the string is shorter than that
length, all bytes past the end of the string are NULs.

FT_STRINGZTRUNC is for null-*truncated* strings, where the field is in
an area of specified length and, if the string is shorter than that
length, there's a null character (which might be more than one byte, for
UCS-2, UTF-16, or UTF-32), and anything after that is not guaranteed to
have any particular value.

Use IS_FT_STRING() in some places rather than enumerating all the string
types, so that those places get automatically changed if the set of
string types changes.

README.developer no longer has a "Code style" section, so update the
Developer's Guide to point to the "Portability" section.

Guy Harris efd7cb38e6 doc: explain when to use FT_STRINGZ, and document FT_STRINGZPAD.
FT_STRINGZ should be used *ONLY* if the string is *ALWAYS* supposed to
have a null terminator, either because the length isn't otherwise
specified, so that it can only be determined by finding the terminating
null character, or because a character count *and* a NULL terminator are
both used (yes, there appear to be some cases where that's true).

FT_STRINGZPAD is null-padded rather than null-terminated; this is
typically used for fixed-length fields that contain a string value that
might be shorter than the fixed length.

David Perry e4379f0ea1 Dumpcap: print closed ring-buffer file names
This proposal adds a new option '-b printname:<filename>' to dumpcap. If
used, dumpcap will print the name of each ring buffer file it creates
after it is closed. Allows the use of '-'/'stdout' and 'stderr'.

Use case: Since the file name is printed after the file is closed for
writing, an automated capture process can do something like the
following with the guarantee that the file in question will not be
changed.

    dumpcap -i eth0 -b files:2 -b printname:stdout [-b ...] | \
    while read cap_file_name ; do
        # Do something with $cap_file_name
    done

This sort of scripting is difficult in dumpcap's current form. Dumpcap
prints the names of new files to stderr as it *opens* them, so a script
attempting to use this must sleep for "-b duration:value" seconds plus
some fudge time to be sure it's getting a closed, unchanging file.

David Perry d24c9df384 editcap: add capture-file comments to output file
Add the `--capture-comment "comment"` option for appending pcapng
comments to the SHB of the output file(s).

Add the `--discard-capture-comment` option for removing pcapng comments
present in the input file SHB(s) before writing to the output file(s).

Supports multiple comments per SHB. Noted in the documentation that
Wireshark itself doesn't support multiple comments.
