Text2pcap (Wireshark) 3.7.0 (v3.7.0rc0-33-g0d276b47d120) Generate a capture file from an ASCII hexdump of packets. See https://www.wireshark.org for more information. Usage: text2pcap [options] where specifies input filename (use - for standard input) specifies output filename (use - for standard output) Input: -o hex|oct|dec parse offsets as (h)ex, (o)ctal or (d)ecimal; default is hex. -t treat the text before the packet as a date/time code; the specified argument is a format string of the sort supported by strptime. Example: The time "10:15:14.5476" has the format code "%H:%M:%S." NOTE: The subsecond component delimiter, '.', must be given, but no pattern is required; the remaining number is assumed to be fractions of a second. NOTE: Date/time fields from the current date/time are used as the default for unspecified fields. -D the text before the packet starts with an I or an O, indicating that the packet is inbound or outbound. This is used when generating dummy headers. The indication is only stored if the output format is pcapng. -a enable ASCII text dump identification. The start of the ASCII text dump can be identified and excluded from the packet data, even if it looks like a HEX dump. NOTE: Do not enable it if the input file does not contain the ASCII text dump. Output: -l link-layer type number; default is 1 (Ethernet). See https://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html for a list of numbers. Use this option if your dump is a complete hex dump of an encapsulated packet and you wish to specify the exact type of encapsulation. Example: -l 7 for ARCNet packets. -m max packet length in output; default is 262144 -n use pcapng instead of pcap as output format. -N assign name to the interface in the pcapng file. Prepend dummy header: -e prepend dummy Ethernet II header with specified L3PID (in HEX). Example: -e 0x806 to specify an ARP packet. -i prepend dummy IP header with specified IP protocol (in DECIMAL). Automatically prepends Ethernet header as well. Example: -i 46 -4 , prepend dummy IPv4 header with specified dest and source address. Example: -4 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2 -6 , prepend dummy IPv6 header with specified dest and source address. Example: -6 fe80::202:b3ff:fe1e:8329,2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 -u , prepend dummy UDP header with specified source and destination ports (in DECIMAL). Automatically prepends Ethernet & IP headers as well. Example: -u 1000,69 to make the packets look like TFTP/UDP packets. -T , prepend dummy TCP header with specified source and destination ports (in DECIMAL). Automatically prepends Ethernet & IP headers as well. Example: -T 50,60 -s ,, prepend dummy SCTP header with specified source/dest ports and verification tag (in DECIMAL). Automatically prepends Ethernet & IP headers as well. Example: -s 30,40,34 -S ,, prepend dummy SCTP header with specified source/dest ports and verification tag 0. Automatically prepends a dummy SCTP DATA chunk header with payload protocol identifier ppi. Example: -S 30,40,34 Miscellaneous: -h display this help and exit. -v print version information and exit. -d show detailed debug of parser states. -q generate no output at all (automatically disables -d).
