Hi,

You can print the capture to an ascii text-file. Print is in the File menu.

Filter dns and arp out with a display filter like this: !arp and !dns.
Capture filter would be something like: !arp and !port 53

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Export Ethereal capture to a Text File for
Grep'ing


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?
