Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] how to grab printable text from entire TCP stream

Well, I've been playing around with exporting TCP stream and ngrep'ing through it...no luck...Here's what I tried


ngrep -W byline -I test.pcap (-I for input, test.pcap name of input file)...result...still got something that looked the same...tried a plethora of other ngrep combos too...sll seem to give me similiar results and not quite what I was looking for.

T 172.21.50.9:2292 -> 172.31.0.59:1433 [AP]

I was really hopefuly this would give me what I needed after seeing the HTTP example on the ngrep usage page, but alas...still pretty stuck :(

Thanks to everyone for replies...any other thoughts?

What if you'd save the TCP stream from wireshark/tshark, then ngrep
the resulting dump file (see pcap file processing examples here:
http://ngrep.sourceforge.net/usage.html) ?
