[Lightning-dev] Wireshark plug-in for Lightning Network(BOLT) protocol

[Olaoluwa Osuntokun]

Hi tomokio,

This is so dope! We've long discussed creating canned protocol transcripts
for
other implementations to assert their responses again, and I think this is a
great first step towards that.

So is this request to add an option which will write out the _plaintext_
messages to disk, or an option that writes out the final derived read/write
secrets to disk? For the latter path, it the tools that read these
transcripts
would need to be aware of key rotations, so they'd  be able to continue to
decrypt the transact pt post rotation.
