Session
Engineers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have been working to add support for MAC Privacy Protection protocol (IEEE 802.1AEdk) to the Linux kernel. MAC Privacy is a Layer 2 protocol intended primarily for use with MAC Security (IEEE 802.1AE) which can modify network traffic metadata including source and destination addresses, timing, and volume. Engineers decided early that having the ability to dissect this new network protocol in Wireshark would not only aid development and testing but also eventually be expected by the community. In this talk, engineers at PNNL present a new Wireshark dissector plugin for handling MAC Privacy protocol. They cover the plugin and its features as well as the pros and cons of developing a Wireshark plugin in Rust.
