+-- Copyright (c) 2014, Hadriel Kaplan
+-- This code is in the Public Domain, or the BSD (3 clause) license if Public Domain does not apply

+--
+-- Version: 2.1
+--
+-- Changes since 2.0:
+-- * fixed a bug with default settings
+-- * added ability for command-line to overide defaults
+--
+-- Changes since 1.0:
+-- * made it use the new ProtoExpert class model for expert info
+-- * add a protocol column with the proto name
+-- * added heuristic dissector support
+-- * added preferences settings
+-- * removed byteArray2String(), and uses the new ByteArray:raw() method instead
+--
+-- BACKGROUND:
+-- This is an example Lua script for a protocol dissector. The purpose of this script is two-fold:
+-- * To provide a reference tutorial for others writing Wireshark dissectors in Lua
+-- * To test various functions being called in various ways, so this script can be used in the test-suites
+-- I've tried to meet both of those goals, but it wasn't easy. No doubt some folks will wonder why some
+-- functions are called some way, or differently than previous invocations of the same function. I'm trying to
+-- to show both that it can be done numerous ways, but also I'm trying to test those numerous ways, and my more
+-- immediate need is for test coverage rather than tutorial guide. (the Lua API is sorely lacking in test scripts)
+--
+-- OVERVIEW:
+-- This script creates an elementary dissector for DNS. It's neither comprehensive nor error-free with regards
+-- to the DNS protocol. That's OK. The goal isn't to fully dissect DNS properly - Wireshark already has a good
+-- DNS dissector built-in. We don't need another one. We also have other example Lua scripts, but I don't think
+-- they do a good job of explaining things, and the nice thing about this one is getting capture files to
+-- run it against is trivial. (plus I uploaded one)
+--
+-- HOW TO RUN THIS SCRIPT:
+-- Wireshark and Tshark support multiple ways of loading Lua scripts: through a dofile() call in init.lua,
+-- through the file being in either the global or personal plugins directories, or via the command line.
+-- See the Wireshark User's Guide chapter on Lua (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/wsluarm_modules.html).
+-- Once the script is loaded, it creates a new protocol named "MyDNS" (or "MYDNS" in some places). If you have
+-- a capture file with DNS packets in it, simply select one in the Packet List pane, right-click on it, and
+-- select "Decode As ...", and then in the dialog box that shows up scroll down the list of protocols to one
+-- called "MYDNS", select that and click the "ok" or "apply" button. Voila`, you're now decoding DNS packets
+-- using the simplistic dissector in this script. Another way is to download the capture file made for
+-- this script, and open that - since the DNS packets in it use UDP port 65333 (instead of the default 53),
+-- and since the MyDNS protocol in this script has been set to automatically decode UDP port 65333, it will
+-- automagically do it without doing "Decode As ...".
+--
+----------------------------------------
+-- do not modify this table
+local debug_level = {
+ DISABLED = 0,
+ LEVEL_1 = 1,
+ LEVEL_2 = 2
+}
+
+-- set this DEBUG to debug_level.LEVEL_1 to enable printing debug_level info
+-- set it to debug_level.LEVEL_2 to enable really verbose printing
+-- note: this will be overridden by user's preference settings

+
+local default_settings =
+{
+ debug_level = DEBUG,
+ port = 65333,
+ heur_enabled = true,
+ heur_regmode = 1,
+}
+
+-- for testing purposes, we want to be able to pass in changes to the defaults
+-- from the command line; because you can't set lua preferences from the command
+-- line using the '-o' switch (the preferences don't exist until this script is
+-- loaded, so the command line thinks they're invalid preferences being set)
+-- so we pass them in as command arguments insetad, and handle it here:
+local args={...} -- get passed-in args
+if args and #args > 0 then
+ for _, arg in ipairs(args) do
+ local name, value = arg:match("(.+)=(.+)")

+ elseif value == "LEVEL_2" then
+ value = debug_level.LEVEL_2
+ else

+----------------------------------------
+-- we don't just want to display our protocol's fields, we want to access the value of some of them too!
+-- There are several ways to do that. One is to just parse the buffer contents in Lua code to find
+-- the values. But since ProtoFields actually do the parsing for us, and can be retrieved using Field
+-- objects, it's kinda cool to do it that way. So let's create some Fields to extract the values.
+-- The following creates the Field objects, but they're not 'registered' until after this script is loaded.
+-- Also, these lines can't be before the 'dns.fields = ...' line above, because the Field.new() here is
+-- referencing fields we're creating, and they're not "created" until that line above.
+-- Furthermore, you cannot put these 'Field.new()' lines inside the dissector function.
+-- Before Wireshark version 1.11, you couldn't even do this concept (of using fields you just created).
+local questions_field = Field.new("mydns.num_questions")
+local query_type_field = Field.new("mydns.query.type")
+local query_class_field = Field.new("mydns.query.class")
+local response_field = Field.new("mydns.flags.response")
+
+-- here's a little helper function to access the response_field value later.
+-- Like any Field retrieval, you can't retrieve a field's value until its value has been
+-- set, which won't happen until we actually use our ProtoFields in TreeItem:add() calls.
+-- So this isResponse() function can't be used until after the pf_flag_response ProtoField
+-- has been used inside the dissector.
+-- Note that calling the Field object returns a FieldInfo object, and calling that
+-- returns the value of the field - in this case a boolean true/false, since we set the
+-- "mydns.flags.response" ProtoField to ftype.BOOLEAN way earlier when we created the
+-- pf_flag_response ProtoField. Clear as mud?
+--
+-- A shorter version of this function would be:
+-- local function isResponse() return response_field()() end
+-- but I though the below is easier to understand.
