Which program created the file?

As wireshark does not recognize the file you might want to check whether that program is able to save the file in libpcap format or you need an external program to convert this filetype to a libpcap based file.

...or find documentation for the .hc2 file format, so that code could perhaps be written for Wireshark to read those files.
