How do I add a pdml tool that could benefit others

0

I have written an app in VB.Net that can carry out two functions:

1) Create a raw binary of all the payload data contained in a .pdml file 2) Create a text file with the specific field data from all packets in a .pdml file by specifying the search string.

The application has been added to sourceforge at the following address:

link text http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdmlpayloadcopy

It was instrumental in decoding a UDP stream contained raw PCM data, hopefully others will find it useful too.

The description from the sourceforge page is as follows:


I required a method of saving the UDP packet stream from a .pdml file created using Wireshark. I could find no method in Wireshark to export the data bytes from more than one packet, a online search was also unsuccessful. The UDP packets contained an audio stream in raw PCM format.

As a result I have created the pdml payload copy application using VB.Net (V2.0) which stores all the hex data in the .pdml file.to a new file. Using the program I was able to load the raw data file created into Audacity to playback the transmitted audio.

I have successfully used the application to analyse a .pdml file containing over 20,000 packets (over 300Mb in size). The application can store the byte data for a maximum of 100,000 packets.

Version 1.1 (12/09/12) Added option to select any field contained in .pdml file (enter required search string), which will output the requested data in text format.

Requires VB.Net 2.0 runtime files.
