Ethereal fails on large capture file.Can you try to disable DCERPC in edit/protocols, there are some suspected issues with dcerpc. It may solve your immediate problem.
Can you try using the 'editcap' command line tool to cut the capture in half and see which of the halves ethereal crashes on. Then cut that capture in half again and repeat until you have a very small capture. If that remaining capture does not contain any sensitive data you can mail the capture to me to look at. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hounsell, Paul To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 11:21 PM Subject: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal fails on large capture file. Hello; I really like your program but it is crashing when processing a large snoop file (50Megs). I am trying to track down a problem on a busy Solaris system. About 30 seconds of snoop capture is over 50 Megs. I am only interested in about one Megabyte of that data. The question is how to filter that 1 Megabyte out of the rest. I have pulled the capture file down to my workstation. I run Ethereal 0.9.12 with a filter. At the 7 Megabyte mark Ethereal crashes with the following error as shown in the attached gif. I have also a Windows XP core dump if required. How do I filter just the data I am interested in? Can this bug be fixed? I understand that there is a limit to the amount of data any program deals with but the program should not crash. I would appreciate any help.
