It seems I have seen this before, but I’ve never seen it discussed, so I’ll ask here…

 

When I read a .ENC file with Ethereal, the timestamps are INcorrect (wrong date, wrong time).  When I reformat that same capture file as a .DMP file, the timestamps shown by Ethereal are all correct.

 

Has anyone else seen this? 

 

In this particular instance, the source of these .ENC and .DMP files is a NetScout nGenius probe.  After the capture file has been stored by nGenius, I can save it as either a .ENC or a .DMP file.  I first saved it as a .ENC, and then opened it with Ethereal.  The timestamps were in the future.

 

I then saved the same capture file as a .DMP, opened with Ethereal, and all the timestamps are correct.

 

I’m running Ethereal 0.10.12.

 

Thx,

Michael
