What do you mean by "a hex dump"?

In Tethereal, there's no way to print out *only* a hex dump of the data
in each packet; you could do

	tethereal -r file.enc -x

and get, for each packet, a summary line and a hex dump, but you can't
get rid of the summary line (you could use "-V", but that'd replace the
summary line with a detailed dissection of the packet).

In Ethereal, you could use the Export -> as "Plain Text" File menu item,
and ask it to save only the packet bytes, and it'll write out a hex dump
of each packet's data - and nothing else, not even time stamps.
