Wireshark patch for MMS support

May 2, 2007 by Gavin Heer

We have created a patch for Wireshark that allows it to dissect MMS (Manufacturing Messaging Specification) PDUs when transported over COTP/TPKT. Previously, Wireshark only dissected the protocol when the OSI session and presentation layers were present. This patch adds COTP as a heuristic dissector for MMS. Be sure to enable ‘try heuristics sub-dissectors first’ in the TCP options as well as fragmentation assembly for TPKT and COTP.

USAGE:

The patch was submitted to Wireshark and was added to trunk (with some small changes made by the wireshark team). You can either download the latest development release from Wireshark(recommended) or download the latest stable release and apply the patch.
