Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] EBCDIC in data portion of packet

We switch many millions of data packets daily to multiple hosts.  A small percentage of these packets have EBCDIC in the data portion of the packet.   The only way I have found to decode this is through the “follow TCP stream”… but that doesn’t allow me to use the “data contains” in the display filter.  And the stream is a persistent socket, so it’s quite large.

 

Is there a better way to use the display filter to find a specific piece of EBCDIC data in a large capture file?

 

Would it make sense to have a configurable flag to allow Wireshark to display the data as EBCDIC?

 

Thanks!

Dave
