Yeah, I actually wrote the Ethereal plugin... It only covers the outer TNS part of the protocol, which I had a protocol document for. None of the internal oracle content is decoded though... Plus, as soon as you throw encrypted TNS into the mix, it becomes much more infeasible to do anything with it. -- Nathan =20 ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: nn...@um...
