Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Enquiry on packet reassembling

["Kevin Wuang" <kevin.wuang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

 

i just discovered the wonder of wireshark few days ago and now as a pet project i am learning to reconstruct a simple text file from the data that is captured from unencrypted wireless link (.cap file). i noticed that Wireshark has the capability to reassembling the packets so surely it is possible to reconstruct the files as well?

 

Can anyone please give me some advices on how to achieve this? Should i start from reading through the source code of Wireshark and is it based on C language?

 

Thanks in advance

Kevin
