Is there a way to capture only the data layer and disregard the upper layers in wireshark? If not, is there a different packet dump utility that can do this? PREFERABLY 1 file per packet!
What I am looking for: A utility that dumps only the data (the payload) layer to a file.
This is programming related…! What I really want to do is to compare all of the datagrams in order to start to understand a third party encoding/protocol. Ideally, and what would be great, would be a hex compare utility that compares multiple files!
You should try right-clicking on a packet and select ‘Follow TCP Stream’. Then you can save the TCP communication into a raw file for further processing. This way you won’t get all the TCP/IP protocoll junk.
