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.

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?
 
 
Do you have a sample capture you could provide with a few packets and the _exact_ expected result?  I think that providing this information would yield a satisfactory result.
