Sharkuana - Wireshark plugin bindings for the ZIG language

A very early, API for creating Wireshark plugins in the ZIG language.

At the moment, only the ability to build for MacOS and Linux has been tested, but as soon as the main functionality is completed, support for Windows will be implemented.

Build Wireshark libraries

To build the Wireshark libraries, you need to have nix installed.

nix develop --command ./scripts/build-wireshark-libs.bash

If you don't have nix, you can use the fallback script which will try using the

• nix;
• docker with nix (This build will only be for Linux);
• run script locally(You will need to install dependencies manually).

./nix-fallback.bash ./scripts/build-wireshark-libs.bash

Building a minimal plugin

To quickly test the plugin, use the command:

zig build && mkdir -p ~/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins/4-4/epan && cp zig-out/lib/libsharkuana.dylib ~/.local/lib/wireshark/plugins/4-4/epan/libsharkuana.so && /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/Wireshark --log-domains sharkuana --log-level noisy
