I have huge pcap files in Gbs which I want to analyze using wireshark but wireshark is extremely slow and crashes while opening those files. I tried breaking those files into smaller files but thats not very good solution as I have to open up each file and sometime relationship between files gets lost. Is there a decent way to handle huge files in wireshark .
For now, the only way is "use a 64-bit version of Wireshark, make sure you have enough disk space/swap space to back up a large virtual address space, and live with the slowness". There may be changes in the future to reduce the memory requirements, but they're not trivial to make. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
