reassembling fragmented ip packets from a pcap file and save the results into another pcap file
Hi all
I need to know is it possible to read a pcap file from a c/c++ programming language and reassemble the ip fragmented packets then save the results into another pcap file ?
I googling a lot but i cant find a solution to reassemble fragmented packets and save the results into another pcap file, most of the solutions are reassembling and printing results onto console.
Is it possible to do this with libpcap library ?
A note: IP packets might be bigger than the maximal size of Ethernet packets.
I know that but I dont want to reinject packets into the network, I just want to have complete packets in my pcap file not fragmented packets.
I just wanna analyse that pcap file which does not have fragmented packets.

It's been a long time for me using Wireshark. I think it's called something else these days. Either case, are the pcap files ASCII readable? If so, then just open() the file, parse it, grab what you want, and process it however you wish. An alternative is to use the tool which generates and reviews the pcap file and have it export the relevant sections as CSV or something and then do the processing.
