How AI connects to Wireshark

Wireshark embeds a Lua interpreter that can be used to write packet dissectors, taps, and capture file readers and writers; scripts can be loaded when Wireshark starts with the -X lua_script option. The Wireshark Developer's Guide also covers working on Wireshark itself, including the programming languages it uses. No account or API key is involved.

From the vendor's documentation: Lua Support in Wireshark - Wireshark Developer's Guide, Introduction - Wireshark Developer's Guide
