Subject: Re: [Ethereal-users] tethereal uses too much memory to filter
packets from file
To: Ethereal user support <ethereal-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
I just added -A <start time> and -B <stop time> to editcap, this way
you can select to have in the file just those packets that happen in a
certain period of time.
$ editcap -A '2005-10-10 20:30:15' -B '2005-10-10 20:30:19' in.pcap out.pcap
This one can filter by date even a file N times bigger than the ram...
you can get it http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/buildbot-builds/
it's on revision 17614 or higher.
