A team called Nayuta is developing a Wireshark plug-in for the Lightning Network (BOLT) protocol. The alpha version of the software can decode some BOLT message, and it currently works with Nayuta's implementation (ptarmigan) and Éclair. If ptarmigan is compiled with certain options, it writes out a key information file that the Wireshark plug-in can use to decode packets. For Éclair, the software parses a log file. The team believes that interoperability testing is a time-consuming task, so they propose that every implementation has a compile option to enable outputting a key information file. They hope this project will be useful for the Lightning Network eco-system.
