Hi,

I have a small doubt about how exactly ethereal sniffs packets.

I am sending an email with an application as attachment. I'm using ethereal to capture these packets.

My problem is, the packets corresponding to the attachment must be in binary. so if I consider 8 bit lengths, their values must range from 0 to 256.

however in my case it never goes beyond 126. which means they are 7 bit ascii.

can someone tell me how I can capture the packets if I am expecting pure binary data.

 

thanks in advance
