ixy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks for looking in! Fairly new to all this and have been given the task of finding an application that can interpret the log files generated by ethereal. Lucky me yeah? I can open them in note pad but I doubt that that will be very useful as an analysis tool so does anyone know of another app? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixy Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 small update, I've tried Sawmill but it does not read the .txt files I have. I guess this is not the native format for Ethereal logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixy Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Guess not then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj-kaiser Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'd guess you should try to use a PCAP file with sawmill. the TXT file isn't the raw data, since Ethereal is a protocol analyser and already has processed it when you save a report/dump to TXT.just my 2 cents.

ixy Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks for the reply BJ!I've also tried feeding Sawmill the pcap file but it didnt like that either I can view them in the ethereal client but what I would like to do is create graphs that show which application or service is talking to what the most. Appreciate any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Try these Wireshark tools or Packetyzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
