 Hi,

not completely sure, but I think "tcpdump -r file" will read from your file and dump some basic information.

You could rewrite it (I think) with -w new_file dumping only what you need.

Anyway, you should definitely check the man page of tcpdump (or online help if not in linux)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Estani

Hello,

I have several gigabytes of dumped network traffic in files, and I need to
extract the payload from each packet. So, I want to discard all link layer,
internet layer, transport layer headers and only extract the udp packet's
payload in a new file.

If it were not so much data, I used the wireshark gui's "Follow stream"
function, but sadly this is not an option since there are too many files to
parse. I would rather have a script do it for me. So what I need is a way
using tshark, tcpdump or so to strip the headers from the packets.

Does anyone know a tool which can be used to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Simon
