Hoi Doug,
Graag gedaan;-)
Just another note.
If you use tcp.stream across multiple files, keep in mind that the stream
index numbers can represent different combinations of ip-addresses and portnumbers;
e.g.
file a: tcp.stream==22 192.168.1.10 49653 207.241.229.39 80
file b: tcp.stream==22 192.168.1.10 49664 207.204.17.246 80
file c: tcp.stream==22
file d: tcp.stream==22 192.168.1.10 49693 67.228.110.120 80
BTW
You can use mergecap to merge multiple capture into a single output file:
mergecap -w test2905.pcap file_a.pcap file_b.pcap file_c.pcap file_d.pcap
