Gang,
Depending on what format you are looking for, you might try using tethereal with a few different options:
+ A brief description of each packet, with a hex dump
"tethereal -i eth0 -nx | tee outfile.txt"
+ A verbose description of each packet
"tethereal -i eth0 -nV | tee outfile.txt"
If you have a captured file you want to convert from text, you can pass it through tethereal with any of these options using the "-r capfile" option.
Does this question warrant an answer in the FAQ?
