Can’t find protocol name SMB in DecodeAs

0

I have a pcap with SMB traffic on port 80. Tried to decode it for SMB but can't find the protocol name "SMB" by using "DecodeAs". See the attached snapshot. SMB

My Wireshark has Version 1.10.6.

The reason is that SMB (and SMB2) are client protocols of NBSS, not directly of TCP. If you know that your packet is a SMB packet using non-standard TCP ports, set "Decode as" protocol to NBSS, and Wireshark will find SMB inside it automatically.
