I am sorry to have to ask the same question again. I'll be as clear as
possible this time to ensure that this does not happen again.
I am in a computer networking class. We are using ethereal to capture
TCP packets off the school network. My job is to take a capture session
and decode the session just like ethereal does. Point of fact to ensure
that my program is correct, I am to compare my output to that of
ethereal. In the display of ethereal the frame number is displayed,
time , source, ............
I have to write a program to display the same output. My instructor
told us in class to save the capture session in binary format then just
convert binary to ascii. I have used the save option under the file
menu and saved file type as libpcap. This does not save the file in
binary format, when I use emacs/ textedit to view this file it is
anything but binary.
i still have plenty of time to do this project, now. I just don't want
to get caught behind.
So after all that I guess I need to know how to save in binary or some
other format that I can convert to ascii so as to create a display
similar to that of ethereal.
As always thanks in advance
