I need to shuffle TCP sessions from
pcap
file to new file. How can I do it? The following scripts don't work for me.
--------------------
To mix up sessions in a pcap
file using Tshark or Wireshark, you can use the following steps:
1. Rename the original pcap
file to something else (optional): This step is not necessary but can help keep track of the original pcap file. You can use the following command to rename the file:
-shell
mv original.pcap original_original.pcap
2. Extract individual sessions from the original pcap file using Tshark: Use Tshark to extract individual sessions from the original pcap file into separate pcap files, like this:
-shell
tshark -r original_original.pcap -Y "tcp.stream == X" -w session_X.pcap
Replace X
with the desired session number. Repeat this command for each session you want to extract, incrementing X
accordingly.
3. Mix up the extracted pcap files: Use a bash script to randomly concatenate the extracted pcap files into a new mixed-up pcap file. Here is an example script (mixup_pcap.sh
) that uses the shuf
command to shuffle the filenames randomly and then appends them to a new file:
-bash
#!/bin/bash
output_pcap="mixed_sessions.pcap"
session_files=(session_*.pcap)
# Randomly shuffle the session files
shuffled_files=($(shuf -e "${session_files[@]}"))
# Concatenate the shuffled pcap files into a new mixed-up pcap file
for file in "${shuffled_files[@]}"; do
cat "$file" >> "$output_pcap"
done
echo "Mixed-up pcap file created: $output_pcap"
Save the above script to mixup_pcap.sh
, make it executable using chmod +x mixup_pcap.sh
, and then run it using ./mixup_pcap.sh
.
4. Analyze the mixed-up pcap file: You can open the generated mixed-up pcap file (mixed_sessions.pcap
) in Wireshark or use Tshark to analyze it further.
Note: Make sure you have Tshark installed on your system to execute the above steps.
