retransmiting tcpdump capture file?

Hello,
I am running debian sarge. I would like to know if anyone knows of a good
graphical interface software that will allow me to retransmit a tcpdump capture file? I have a project I am doing at work, and this would be of great help. I would like to run on gnome, if possible. Thank you.

Good tool, yes - GUI, NO!

as with most networking on *NIX you have to use the consol.

But have a look at tcpreplay (also available from debian)
http://tcpreplay.sourceforge.net/

Hope it is what you are looking for

Look at ethereal, which I have used; & and its CLI counterpart tethereal, which I haven't.

Different capture format, possibly better. I believe more comprehensive.

Ethereal will provide a nice GUI for examining the packets (its compatible with tcpdump's output format) but I don't think it can replay them across the network.

Maybe we should have asked what you meant by "retransmit a tcpdump capture file"?

Ethereal can certainly capture to file & replay the captured files. It's nice to learn that it's compatible w/ tcpdump.

To do this over a network, you will need to:
  • run VNC,
  • forward an X session,
  • or, maybe, use ssh & tethereal.
What are you asking for?

How do you get Ethereal to replay the captured packets? I'm using 0.10.12 on a Centos4.1 box and I can't see an option for it anywhere?

I hope by "replay" you mean view again, not something involving retransmission.

It's as easy as opening (File, Open -- Ctrl-O) a capture file.

No I meant retransmission, which I'm guessing can't be done in Ethereal

Just checked Snowbat's Tcpreplay link, looks like it's just what you're asking for.
