I would like to view the data from the capture in plain text, but when I do the "Follow UDP Stream" all I see is:

..........x..7..L....7.... ..7..Ver 6.41 Dec 21 2011...d..7..~PIN2Width...a..7..~PIN2Width=5......7..~ExtendFmt... ..7..~ExtendFmt=1......7..WorkCode......7..WorkCode=0...Z..7....s..7..

Does anyone know how to fully decode the data section of the capture so that I can read it?

Thanks

Not all data from a capture is plain text.

Does anyone know how to fully decode the data section of the capture so that I can read it?

I've heard there's a program called "Wireshark" that does a pretty good job of it. The middle pane of its display shows packet data as fully as it can.

  • The Details pane needn't be in the middle, see Edit / Preferences / Layout. Note Wireshark guesses the protocol/format of the data by looking at the port numbers; if you have a known protocol over an unusual port, rightclick the List-pane entry (or select it and click Analyze), choose DecodeAs..., identify the source/dest port that matters, and choose the protocol. – dave_thompson_085 Aug 05 '15 at 04:31
