I do not have capture file in binary format. I did not save it.

What do you mean? Packets 117051 and 117052 are unchanged - I did not zero
anything. You can see question marks in 2nd and 3rd packet and two last packets
where I made corrections. The hidden data was directory paths and error message
responses - that is, ASCII text.

I do not undertand. Packet clearly contains Enternet header, then IP header
then TCP data. What a fuzzy logic should be applied to find something else in
it?
