You know how Ethereal parses OSCAR and etc.?

I've never used Ethereal.

You know how Ethereal parses OSCAR and etc.? Do you think we could make one that parses b.net?

I have no idea how protocol parsers are implemented in Ethereal. They're not DLLs (judging by a quick glance in C:\Program Files\Ethereal). But I note the main executable, ethereal.exe, is 7.8mb. So maybe they're all compiled in the exe.

Ethereal is open source. If you're that interested in it, get the source, write the parser, recompile and enjoy.

you have to write a dissector; it's 1000x harder than it should be
if you want to do the world a favour, write a plugin to create "virtual" dissectors without compiling
