Open pcap file with tcpdump

I've been playing with pcap. What's the status of this importer? Does the "Fiddler 4 supports pcap files" answer indicate that the importer is part of Fiddler 4? And does it also support pcap-ng files? If so, please make sure it doesn't assume all Interface Description Blocks are at the beginning of a file OK, I tested Fiddler2 with a file that has two IDBs, one of which appears late in the capture, followed by packets for the second interface; it looked as if it was handled correctly.

That probably means Fiddler2 and Fiddler4, if the code paths are the same and the only differences are. Net 2 vs. Net 4 differences will handle pcap-ng files that don't have all the IDBs at the beginning. Robob Robob 1 1 gold badge 6 6 silver badges 19 19 bronze badges.
