In the future it is hoped that wiretap will have more features than libpcap, but wiretap is still in its infancy. However, wiretap is used in wireshark for its ability -to read multiple file types. You can read the following file -formats: - -libpcap (tcpdump -w, etc.) - this is Wireshark's native format -snoop and atmsnoop -Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor -Novell LANalyzer -Network General/Network Associates DOS-based Sniffer (compressed and - uncompressed) -Microsoft Network Monitor -AIX's iptrace -Cinco Networks NetXRay -Network Associates Windows-based Sniffer -AG Group/WildPackets EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek/EtherHelp -RADCOM's WAN/LAN Analyzer -Lucent/Ascend access products -HP-UX's nettl -Toshiba's ISDN routers -ISDN4BSD "i4btrace" utility -Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System iplogging facility -pppd logs (pppdump-format files) -VMS's TCPIPtrace utility -DBS Etherwatch for VMS -Traffic captures from Visual Networks' Visual UpTime -CoSine L2 debug output -Output from Accellent's 5Views LAN agents -Endace Measurement Systems' ERF format -Linux Bluez Bluetooth stack "hcidump -w" traces -Network Instruments Observer version 9 -Trace files for the EyeSDN USB S0 - -In addition, it can read gzipped versions of any of these files +to read multiple file types.

Wireshark needs a modern version of zlib to be able to use zlib to read gzipped files; version 1.1.3 is known to work. Versions |
