Hi,

I will clear doubts regarding analyzing SS7 hex data.
It is not Sigtran, pure SS7 data.

Lego asked me to use text2pcap. To use this tool i have one doubt.
In what form SS7 data should be stored in file, ASCII or Hex.

For exampe 0x41 is a hex data. How this data should be stored in file.
If you store in hex format, open in text editor you will see letter A.
If 0x41 should be stored in ASCCII format then you will see 0x41
But file has different binary value.

So my doubt is whether this should be stored in binary (Hex) format
or ASCCI format. What text2pcap takes.

Bye
