I think text2pcap.exe can't read binary file.
Correct. Its name is "text2pcap" - "text" "to" "pcap" - indicating that it reads a text file, not a binary file, and converts it to a libpcap-format file.
Can I use text2pcap.exe or any other program to convert binary file to libpcap-style capture file?
You could use text2pcap if you also write a program to read your binary files and write them out as a hex dump in a format text2pcap can read.
I don't know whether there are any other programs, although I guess you could write your own, using libpcap.
