There's a slim chance that "text2pcap" might help you (ships with Wireshark - documentation for it is available with the rest of Wireshark documentation). However, the amount of information that tool, or ANY tool can extract from a given text-based capture is pretty limited. Depending on what generated the output, you might have very limited info (nothing beyond, say, IP addresses and packet lengths, perhaps). Instead, in MOST cases the better thing is spending your time finding a way to go back and collect the info again in a binary format.

Hi, Can we read any plain text data between systems using sniffer? I tried to do this. But It is not understandable. Do I need to use any tool for reading captured file?
