Convert packet_monitor output to a pcap file

Blue Bar separator

The packet_monitor tool is the packet capture and display tool that is part of the STCP product set for VOS. It displays packets in a text format and while it will decode the Ethernet, ARP, IP and TCP/UDP/ICMP headers it displays the upper layer protocols as hex data. It has some filtering capability but only to control which packets to capture. Following a specific TCP connection or tracing sequence numbers to locate retransmissions or missing segments has to be done manually.

The following perl script pm2text2pcap.pl is my attempt to convert the packet_monitor output to something that the wireshark text2pcap tool can read. Once the output is converted into a pcap format it can be read by any number of protocol analyzers - including but not limited to wireshark.

In order for this tool to correctly parse the packet_monitor output, packet_monitor must be run with the following control arguments:
                  -numeric -time_stamp -verbose -pkt_hdr -hex_header -hex_dump -length 1500
Stricly speaking the "-length 1500" is not needed but without it you may end up with only part of the upper protocol. You can also add any capture filters you want. Version 1.4 (or later) of the pm command macro can be used to generate the output. In addition the input file should end with at least 1 non packet line. If you use pm it will typically be ready and process termination messages, but any line will work. If you do not have such a line you may get the error:
                  Use of uninitialized value in length at pm2text2pcap.pl line 124, <stdin> line xx.
Where xx is the last line of the input file. The error does no harm and may be ignored.

The perl script uses IO redirection to control both the input and output. The following command runs the script, taking as the input file pm-test-15.out and generating the file pm-test-15.txt.

 
C:\>perl pm2text2pcap.pl < pm-test-15.out > pm-test-15.txt                      
VOS RELEASE not set. Sequence numbers and window size treated as decimal values.

To set a VOS release use the release number as an argument, i.e.
      pm2text2pcap 14.7 < input_file > output_file
You need to set a release ONLY if the packet_monitor file is taken
from a release 14 or earlier system.

Note the message about VOS release not being set and how to set it. The output of packet_monitor changed in VOS release 15. Prior to that the sequence and ACK numbers and the window size were displayed as hex values. Starting in release 15 they are displayed as decimal values. The script needs to know the VOS release inorder to know how to handle the numbers. As the message says you can provide a release number as an argument after the script name.

The following are examples of setting the release to 15.3 and 14.7. Note that a message indicates if the numbers will be treated as hex or decimal.

 
C:\>perl pm2text2pcap.pl 15.3 < pm-test-15.out > pm-test-15.txt
VOS RELEASE set to 15.3. Sequence numbers and window size treated as decimal val
ues

C:\>perl pm2text2pcap.pl 14.7 < pm-test-15.out > pm-test-15.txt
VOS RELEASE set to 14.7. Sequence numbers and window size treated as hex values

Specifing a release 14 for a packet_monitor output that was created on a release 15 system will not generate any errors but will produce incorrect sequence and window size numbers since the decimal value will be treated as a hexidecimal value. Specifing a release 15 (or greater) for a packet_monitor output that was created on a release 14 system will generate errors for every value that is not a decimal value. An output file will still be created by the numbers will be 0.

 
C:\>perl pm2text
2pcap.pl 16.2 < pm-test-14.out > pm-test-14.txt
VOS RELEASE set to 16.2. Sequence numbers and window size treated as decimal val
ues

Argument "39f61f52" isn't numeric in sprintf at pm2text2pcap.pl line 269, < stdin

When complete the output will look something like:

 
16:39:03.706

000020 00 00 00 00 00 00 a4 98 4d e0                  	................

You then need to run the text2pcap utility with the
                  C:\temp>"C:\program files\wireshark\text2pcap" -t "%H:%M:%S." -q foo.out foo.pcap
The -t argument tells text2pcap to interpret the line preceeding the frame as a timestamp. Don't forget the colons (:) between the %H, %M and %S and the dot following the "S". The dot indicates that the numbers following the seconds should be interpreted as a partial second. The -q tells text2pcap to be quiet. Without it, a line is output for every frame processed. The first file name is the input file and the second is the output file.

Once you have the output file it can be processed by any analyzer that will read a pcap file - and most of them will.

One final note about the script. This is version 1.00 - I've done my best to test it but packet monitor can output data in multiple formats and I may have missed something. The script tries to take care of this by confirming that the output characters for the frame are all in the range 0-9 or a-f. If one of the output characters is not in this range it will NOT output the frame. Instead it will out a frame with 0 for the source and destination Ethernet addresses, an Ethertype of 0xffff and bytes of "The original frame was not able to be parsed". It looks like this in the output file:

 
000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ff 54 68	................        
000010 65 20 6f 72 69 67 69 6e 61 6c 20 66 72 61 6d 65	................
000020 20 77 61 73 20 6e 6f 74 20 61 62 6c 65 20 74 6f	................
000030 20 62 65 20 70 61 72 73 65 64                  	................

and in wireshark the frame will look like:

:The
Figure 1 - Parse Error Frame

If there are errors reported please let me know and forward the packet_monitor trace to me for testing. Note however, that if packet_monitor is run without all of the required arguments you will also get parse errors.

Finally, the script will add a special frame to the end of the trace. It states that the trace was originally created by packet_monitor, identifies the version of the script and gives the date that the script was run. There is a corresponding comment as well. It looks like this in the output file:

# Version 0.00 07-10-31
# Version 1.00 08-03-26 added code to process an argument identifing the VOS release

#                       numbers and the window size in hex. Starting in release 15 the numbers are
#                       displayed in decimal. The original version always treated these numbers as
#                       decimal. If no argument is given the numbers are treated as decimal.
