Any line which has only bytes without a leading offset is The offsets are used to track the bytes, so Any lines of textīetween the bytestring lines is ignored. The offset is ignored, including email forwarding characters '>'. Bytes/hex numbers can be uppercase or lowercase. There is no limit on the width or number of bytes per line. The offset is a hex number (can also be octal orĭecimal - see -o), of more than two hex digits. In other words,Įach byte is individually displayed, with spaces separating the bytes from each other.Įach line begins with an offset describing the position in the file, with a space Text2pcap understands a hexdump of the form generated by od -Ax -tx1 -v. text2pcap is also capable of generating dummyĮthernet, IP and UDP, TCP, or SCTP headers, in order to build fully processable packetĭumps from hexdumps of application-level data only. text2pcap can read hexdumps with multiple packets in them, and buildĪ capture file of multiple packets.

ĭESCRIPTION Text2pcap is a program that reads in an ASCII hex dump and writes the data described intoĪ pcap capture file. Text2pcap - Generate a capture file from an ASCII hexdump of packets
