A capture file saved in the format that libpcap, WinPcap, and Npcap use can be read by applications that understand that format, such as tcpdump, Wireshark, CA NetMaster, or Microsoft Network Monitor 3.x. The file format is described by Internet-Draft draft-ietf-opsawg-pcap; [5] the current editors' version of the draft is also available. [6]
Wireshark's native network trace file formats are the libpcap format read and written by libpcap, WinPcap, and Npcap, so it can exchange captured network traces with other applications that use the same format, including tcpdump and CA NetMaster, and the pcapng format read by newer versions of
Microsoft compressed file in Quantum format, used prior to Windows XP. File can be decompressed using Extract.exe or Expand.exe distributed with earlier versions of Windows. After compression, the last character of the original filename extension is replaced with an underscore, e.g. ‘Setup.exe’ becomes ‘Setup.ex_’. 46 4C 49 46: FLIF: 0 flif
The first known use of the term PCAP-over-IP is by Packet Forensics in 2011. [2] However, the concept behind PCAP-over-IP was mentioned already in 2008 as part of a feature request for Wireshark. [3]
Include a section on the pcap file format, possibly including info on the pcap-ng file format. Expand the History section to include links to Berkeley Packet Filter . Create a section discussing the various backends which libpcap has been extended to support for different operating systems, such as DLPI, STREAMS, DAG, PF_PACKET, etc.
The Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF; also BSD Packet Filter, classic BPF or cBPF) is a network tap and packet filter which permits computer network packets to be captured and filtered at the operating system level.
Ettercap is a free and open source network security tool for man-in-the-middle attacks on a LAN.It can be used for computer network protocol analysis and security auditing.It runs on various Unix-like operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X, BSD and Solaris, and on Microsoft Windows.
As promiscuous mode can be used in a malicious way to capture private data in transit on a network, computer security professionals might be interested in detecting network devices that are in promiscuous mode.
