Wireshark

You can install the plugin by simply copying it to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark/plugins (~/.config/wireshark/plugins on Linux). The directory may not exist yet.

mkdir -p ~/.config/wireshark/plugins
cd ~/.config/wireshark/plugins
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antmicro/wireshark-pcie-dissector/main/pcie-pipe.lua
cd -

Currently the plugin features a simple dissector for the protocol described in the “Wire format” section.

Typically, to analyze Warp Pipe traffic using Wireshark, you will open it to listen to your loopback interface.

The plugin repository contains a sample PCAPNg file you can open with Wireshark do test the plugin functionality:

wget https://github.com/antmicro/wireshark-pcie-dissector/raw/main/sample.pcapng
wireshark sample.pcapng

You can also use a CLI tool to verify the plugin installation:

$ tshark -r sample.pcapng pcie
