This must be the case where there is nothing else in the ASN.1 file that can give you a hint as to how to decode the OCTETSTRING I guess. A couple of things spring to mind: 1) as a preference, "auto-detect" ASN.1 when decoding BER OCTETSTRINGs and dissect as unknown BER. 2) Add a menu item - "Decode Bytes in New Window" - which would bring up something like "Show Packet in New Window" - but just decoding the selected bytes as BER. > Is it possible to add another entry to the Packet List after such a > dissection? I guess it is possible, but it would need some communication between the dissector and the BER wtap.
