SharkFest'24 US

Jaap Keuter

Studied telecommunications and computer systems. Worked for a PBX manufacturer and currently for a manufacturer of Ethernet switching and telecommunication transmission systems, in the role of embedded software engineer. Along the way I started using what was then called Ethereal, enhancing it and providing bug fixes, which eventually lead to becoming a core developer.

Besides this I like to spend time in the air, either skydiving or flying gliders.

Dissector developer design notes
Jaap Keuter

In this talk we'll go over lots of the details that dissector developers have to contend with. Not only will we touch on some of the Epan APIs available to us, but we will go behind the API's and discuss the way of thinking about packet dissection design. Here we may discover wisdoms which are not only important to dissector developers, but for software development in general.

Even though in this talk we will focus on development of C code, Lua dissector developers may take away some deeper insights as well.
