EPL-Dissector with XDD support plugin for Wireshark

Parses XDD/EDS files and uses extracted information to correctly label SDOs and PDOs. Depends on libxml2. Tested working with Wireshark v2.2.4.

Don't clone this

git clone --recursive https://github.com/epl-viz/wireshark

instead. Build files for plugins expect to be ran out the wireshark source tree.

Installation

As the stock EPL dissector is already linked when the plugin DLL is loaded, one needs to manually disable it (Analyze ❯ Enabled Protocols). When using libwireshark, one could call proto_disable_proto_by_name("epl") before commencing dissection. To keep the dissectors apart, this one is called EPL+XDD with epl-xdd as Wireshark protocol abbreviation.
