How can i extract the SMTP parameters such as FROM,TO,SUBJECT,DATE and ... from SMTP packets?


Hi.

I don't know where you want the output, but the SMTP dissector is using the IMF dissector, so it's possible to use tshark to print the values like this:

$ tshark -r smtp_data.pcap -e imf.from -e imf.to -e imf.subject -T fields

Or you could simply dump all fields and do a grep, like this:

$ tshark -V -r smtp_data.pcap | egrep "Subject:|From:|To:|Date:"
