One version of the NAI Sniffer has a bug.  Save the file to an “ENC” format from the NAI Sniffer, then open it with Ethereal, see if this fixes the problem.  I am told there is an updated version of the software to fix this problem in the NAI Sniffer.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal Decode of Network Associats Flawed

 

I am comparing a Network Associates/General sniffer capture side by side with the Ethereal version and the time Relative is off by a factor of approximately 2.83x.  In other words, when I have a delta time of .210 in Network General, I show a corresponding delta time of .074 in Ethereal.  Also, the General date is off by over 4 days.  I conducted a sniffer capture on 11/16 and Ethereal shows it as 11/12.  In addition, the sample that I described had an overall duration of approximately 4 minutes and Ethereal showed less than 2.

 

Could somebody explain what is wrong with the decoder and how it can be fixed.

 

Thanks,
