The Nayuta team is working on a Wireshark plug-in for the Lightning Network (BOLT) protocol. Currently, the software works for Nayuta's implementation (ptarmigan) and Éclair, and can decode some BOLT messages in an alpha version. The team proposes that every implementation should have a compile option that enables an output key information file to make interoperability testing easier. Whenever key rotation occurs, lightning node software writes 16 byte MAC and key of "first BOLT packet" to enable decryption of the messages. However, messages with non-zero nonce values cannot be decrypted until the next key rotation. Lightning-dissector already supports key rotation, and the current design is provisional. Opinions are welcome.
