Taken from wireshark's website :

"Wireshark supports a variety of capture file formats.

Some of these formats are well-documented and therefore well-known, like the libpcap / WinPcap format Wireshark uses natively.

Other formats are added to Wireshark by reverse engineering, so the support of these formats is done through "sophisticated guesswork". This is the reason why support of these file types might be incomplete and inaccurate at some parts.

  • /libpcap captures (TcpDump, Wireshark native and various other tools that use LibPcap)

  • snoop and atmsnoop captures

  • Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor captures
  • Novell LANalyzer captures
  • Microsoft Network Monitor captures
  • AIX's iptrace captures
  • Cinco Networks NetXRay captures
  • Network Associates Windows-based Sniffer captures
  • Network General/Network Associates DOS-based Sniffer (compressed or uncompressed) captures
  • AG Group/ WildPackets EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek/EtherHelp/PacketGrabber captures

  • RADCOM's WAN/LAN analyzer captures
  • Network Instruments Observer version 9 captures
  • Lucent/Ascend router debug output
  • RedBack SE400/800 tcpdump pcap format

  • HP-UX's nettl captures

  • Toshiba's ISDN routers dump output
  • the output from i4btrace from the ISDN4BSD project
  • traces from the EyeSDN USB S0.
  • the output in IPLog format from the Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System
  • pppd logs (pppdump format)
  • the output from VMS's TCPIPtrace/TCPtrace/UCX$TRACE utilities
  • the text output from the DBS Etherwatch VMS utility
  • Visual Networks' Visual UpTime traffic capture

  • the output from CoSine L2 debug

  • the output from Accellent's 5Views LAN agents
  • Endace Measurement Systems' ERF format captures
  • Linux Bluez Bluetooth stack hcidump -w traces
  • Tektronix K12/K15 captures

  • ASCII trace output from the IBM iSeries (AS/400) Ethernet Communications Trace
  • DCT2000 .out files

What is a compatible file?

A compatible file is a file name extension (or format) that a program can read.


Can a file with a weird extension but with batch file code be read using another batch file?

Nope, the format of a file is a vital part of a successful batch file. Even if a file with an unknown file format contains working batch file code in it, a batch file will still not be able to read it because of its foreign file extension. If you want the batch file to be able to read the foreign file, then you can set it to rename the mutated file to .bat format and then read it for it to work. Example: @Echo off REN File.Foreign File.bat CALL File.bat exit

Why can't some files be read when you download them?

Most likely it is because you don't have an application that knows how to read that particular type of file. Data stored in files is usually in a particular format (i.e. png, gif, Word, Excel, text). To meaningfully read a file, you need an application that understands the format the file is in. It is also possible that a downloaded file is corrupt or incomplete and so can't be read successfully. Even rarer still, the file could be corrupt or incomplete on the server itself.


Explain timing and control in Read Operation?

The READ operation is applicable for a full procedural input file or a full procedural combined file that use data that has been externally described or is program described. The READ operation will recover from the display but there must be a format in order for any input operations to happen. This necessity can be met on a display device by preparing an output record with the 1P indicator. This is done by writing the initial format onto the device from another program, or alternatively, if the read has a record format name, by making use of the keyword INZRCD in the description of the record in the DDS. It is necessary to use 'operand' in the name of a record format or file in order to control it. A record format name can only be used in the instance of an externally described file. If the format is different from the one that you required, the READ operation will end in error. If a READ operation has been successful, the file will be located at the next record that has met the required criteria. If there has been an error, the file needs to be repositioned. A multiple device file can be specified with the word 'name'. In this instance, the READ operation will do one of the following: • Read data from the device • Accept the first response from any device

What is some information that file types provide?

File types, or file extensions -- for example. .DOCX, .PDF, .DAT-- reveal the format of the data included in the file. Software programs designed to open and read files 'look' for the file extension in order to set up the open and read functions.
