We need to convert a hex dump written with tshark to a pcap-file to replay the
packets.
We’re capturing http-streams and write them as hex.
When we use text2pcap to convert it to pcap format, the output of text2pcap is
with no error – the packets got written successfully.
The strange thing happens, when we replay the pcap or just let tshark read the
pcap file.
The most packets are told to be malformed. Sometimes we also find f.e.
hsrp-packets.
What are we doing wrong ?
Capturing packets with: “tshark -i eth1 –n port 443 –V –R http” (we see the
http stream/ packets)
Writing to file: “tshark -i eth1 –n port 443 –V –R http | grep -e
"^[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f]" > file.hex”
Converting: “text2pcap file.hex file_hex.pcap” (no errors)
Wrote packet of 10 bytes at 0

Reading with tshark: “tshark –r file_hex.pcap”
1 0.000000 -> Ethernet [Malformed Packet]
2 0.000001 b6:ee:ff:8e:e8:77 -> ed:7d:eb:72:e2:48 0xd010 Ethernet II
3 0.000002 73:72:65:8a:3b:93 -> 3e:07:9c:ae:53:b1 0x27e2 Ethernet II
4 0.000003 fa:93:2e:4a:68:8f -> 42:f2:2e:c9:7d:46 0x7d8a Ethernet II
5 0.000004 -> Ethernet [Malformed Packet]
6 0.000005 12:ff:3f:52:de:81 -> dd:59:fd:6e:e2:48 0xb5b4 Ethernet II
7 0.000006 -> Ethernet [Malformed Packet]
8 0.000007 d5:e6:75:52:95:77 -> ed:7d:db:72:db:ca 0xc0cf Ethernet II
9 0.000008 2e:21:ca:d8:41:3e -> 8e:9f:5f:95:6e:9a 0xf728 Ethernet II
10 0.000009 a9:15:ec:dd:ae:9b -> e7:d4:72:ba:b2:d3 0x3e4e Ethernet II
11 0.000010 00:4a:ba:1a:e6:33 -> 24:8f:67:ee:96:a4 0x08c6 Ethernet II
And, of course:
“tshark –r file_hex.pcap -V -R http” outputs nothing.
