Hello, Firstly, I want to mention that I am not sure where to post this mail, to wireshark-dev or wireshark-users. Due to my confusion, I mailed it to both. So, I apologize for the trouble/inconvenience this may cause to people who are members of both the mail lists. I am making a software packet generator tool that will be incorporated into a network Operating System that is used on switches and routers. The aim of this software is to be able to send packets on an interface and for this, I am using tcpreplay as part of the solution. However, "tcpreplay" uses pcap files as input from which it reads packets and sends them out. Instead of this, I want to send my own packets that I constructed in a hexdump format. Hence, I wanted to use the "text2pcap" program to convert these hexdumps into pcap format that I can then send using tcpreplay. However, after searching on the internet at length, I have been unable to find any place or website that offers this utility as a standalone program. I realized that this utility is bundled along with the "wireshark" program, and so I was wondering if any of you guys know how to compile this tool as a standalone program on a BSD platform. Once again, I am not sure whether it is appropriate to ask this question in the "Wireshark-users" mail list or if it should be asked in the "Wireshark-dev" mail list. Please correct me if this is the wrong list to ask this question. Kindly reply to this mail. Thank you. Warm Regards, V.
