Ethereal-users: RE: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal fails on large capture file.
Something else to try is adding memory to your workstation. Ethereal gets
extremely memory hungry with large file (iirc 2-3x the file size). For more
detail hit the archives this, there's more info there from about a year ago.
Good luck,
Chris

Ethereal fails on large capture file.Can you try to disable DCERPC in
edit/protocols, there are some suspected issues with dcerpc.
It may solve your immediate problem.
Can you try using the 'editcap' command line tool to cut the capture in
half and see which of the halves
ethereal crashes on.
Then cut that capture in half again and repeat until you have a very
small
capture.
If that remaining capture does not contain any sensitive data you can
mail
the capture to me to look at.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal fails on large capture file.
Hello;
I really like your program but it is crashing when processing a
large snoop file (50Megs). I am trying to track down a problem on a busy
Solaris system. About 30 seconds of snoop capture is over 50 Megs. I am
only
interested in about one Megabyte of that data. The question is how to
filter
that 1 Megabyte out of the rest. I have pulled the capture file down to
my
workstation. I run Ethereal 0.9.12 with a filter. At the 7 Megabyte mark
Ethereal crashes with the following error as shown in the attached gif.
I
have also a Windows XP core dump if required.
How do I filter just the data I am interested in? Can this bug
be
fixed? I understand that there is a limit to the amount of data any
program
deals with but the program should not crash. I would appreciate any
help.
Cheers
Paul
