How to get source IP address?

1

I am making a custom dissector that needs to be able to find the source ip address of a packet and compare it with the IP address of the host computer.

How would I be able to find the source IP address?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I just figured it out, but for anyone who is having trouble with the same type of thing, you can output your source ip address as a string with ip_to_str(pinfo->src.data)

Note that ip_to_str() assumes the source address is an IPv4 address. You might want to check the type of the address and handle IPv6 addresses as well.

To find the Internet IP address visit the site IP-details.com here it displays the information like ISP(Internet Service Provider),IP location,country,latitude,longitude etc..
