pcapfix

Repair damaged or corrupted pcap and pcapng files. More information: https://f00l.de/pcapfix/.

• Repair a pcap/pcapng file (Note: for pcap files, only the first 262144 bytes of each packet are scanned):

pcapfix {{path/to/file.pcapng}}

• Repair an entire pcap file:

pcapfix --deep-scan {{path/to/file.pcap}}

• Repair a pcap/pcapng file and write the repaired file to the specified location:

pcapfix --outfile {{path/to/repaired.pcap}} {{path/to/file.pcap}}

• Repair a pcapng file and treat it as a pcapng file, ignoring the automatic recognition:

pcapfix --pcapng {{path/to/file.pcapng}}

• Repair a file and show the process in detail:

pcapfix --verbose {{path/to/file.pcap}}
