Export Dissected Pcap file to text file using command line
To export the dissected content of a pcap file to a text file using command line tools, you can use the command line tool tshark
, which is part of the Wireshark suite. tshark
allows you to analyze and manipulate pcap files from the command line.
Here's an example of how you can export the dissected content of a pcap file to a text file using tshark
:
csstshark -r input.pcap -T fields -e frame.number -e ip.src -e ip.dst -e tcp.srcport -e tcp.dstport -e http.request.method -e http.host -e http.request.uri -e http.user_agent -E header=y -E separator=, > output.txt
In this example, the tshark
command performs the following actions:
-r input.pcap
: Specifies the input pcap file from which to read the network traffic.-T fields
: Sets the output format to fields (each field in a separate column).-e
: Specifies the fields to include in the output. You can customize the fields according to your specific requirements. In the example, fields likeframe.number
,ip.src
,ip.dst
,tcp.srcport
,tcp.dstport
,http.request.method
,http.host
, andhttp.request.uri
are included.-E header=y
: Adds a header row to the output with the field names.-E separator=,
: Sets the separator to a comma (,
) for the fields in the output.> output.txt
: Redirects the output to theoutput.txt
file.
After running the command, the dissected content of the pcap file will be exported to the output.txt
file in comma-separated format.
Make sure to replace input.pcap
with the path to your actual pcap file, and adjust the fields and formatting options based on your specific needs.
Note that you need to have tshark
installed and accessible in your command line environment for this command to work.
