parsing .pcap files

Hi,
Im using pyflag to parse .pcap files. Pyflag displays the data part of
the .pcap file in binary and I was wondering what this means. How do I
decode the 'data' part of the packet without using external libraries?
What does these non-alpha numerical information mean? Is there a
(python) dictionary/documentation somewhere that I can use to parse this
data?
Thanks again.
Cheers
Astan
PS: I've attached the .pcap file that Im using to test and the python
file as well.

In reading up on raw socket programming under RedHat 9.2, I come across 'typedef struct pcap pcap_t' in pcap.h. Ok, so pcap_t is of type pcap, but I can't find any include file that tells me what pcap is itself. Ideas, anyone? --Tony

Hello! Maybe someone is able to give me a little hint on this: I've written a vb.net app which is mainly an interpreter for specialized CAD/CAM files. These files mainly contain simple movement and drawing instructions like "move to's" and "change color's" optionally followed by one or more numeric (int or float) arguments. My problem is that the parsing algorithm I've currently implemented is extremely slow.

Hello, I'm fairly new to Python, and have run into dead ends in trying to figure out what is going on. The basic thing I am trying to do is get pylibpcap working on a Python installation.

I was hoping to just be able to copy the pcap.py and _pcapmodule.dll file to a directory in the ActiveState install's sys.path...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
