Hey everyone, I just started using Wireshark, and I noticed that if a string in a packet is too long, Wiresharks truncates it and append [truncated] to the string. My question is: is there a way to turn truncation off, or to increase the maximum untruncated string size. I tried to search in the archives of this mailing list for an answer with no success.
Not without recompiling the software. Wireshark has a fixed-size buffer for some things (ITEM_LABEL_LENGTH). That size can be made bigger at the expense of extra memory usage, even for the common case of shorter strings. Making the size dynamic appears non-trivial. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
