Hello lightning network developers.
Nayuta team is developing Wireshark plug-in for Lightning Network(BOLT)
protocol.
https://github.com/nayutaco/lightning-dissector

It’s alpha version, but it can decode some BOLT message.
Currently, this software works for Nayuta’s implementation(ptarmigan) and
Éclair.
When ptarmigan is compiled with some option, it write out key information
file. This Wireshark plug-in decode packet using that file.
When you use Éclair, this software parse log file.

Through our development experience, interoperability test is time consuming
task.
If people can see communication log of BOLT message on same format (.pcap),
it will be useful for interoperability test.

Our proposal:
Every implementation has compile option which enable output key information
file.

We are glad if this project is useful for lightning network eco-system.
