Howdy All,
This is probably less than 5% on topic but I'm getting desperate so I thought I'd ask...
Does anyone know of solid references on Protocol Reverse Engineering?
Guides, howtos, books, or even blogged war stories would be helpful. Links to open source software would also be greatly appreciated.
I'm particularly interested in packet format inference and protocol automata inference from packet streams. (Which is probably an NP-Complete problem.)
Has anyone come across protocol design recovery algorithms or heuristics? Or maybe created automated tools?
Thanks!
