Hi,

	wondering wether I can do this.(I believe it can be done, just that
I don't know how)

I have a capture file, I would like to dump the contents of this file into a
ascii/text file so that I can Grep for a specific string for analysis.

I've tried tcpdump but (maybe my options were wrong) I can only get the
headers, I would like to dump _everything_

PS : I'm getting a lot of ARP and DNS requests.. how can I filter it out?? 

tcp not port 53 (DNS) and tcp not port ARP(??? port #) not localhost ???

So that I exclude DNS and ARP requests as well as traffic from my own PC?



Cheers,                                                 .^.
