Gang,

Depending on what format you are looking for, you might try using tethereal with a few different options:

+ A brief description of each packet, with a hex dump
	"tethereal -i eth0 -nx | tee outfile.txt"

+ A verbose description of each packet
	"tethereal -i eth0 -nV | tee outfile.txt"

If you have a captured file you want to convert from text, you can pass it through tethereal with any of these options using the "-r capfile" option.


Does this question warrant an answer in the FAQ?
