Oops… that will limit the size of all captured packets – usually the DHCP and DNS packets are not very big… alternately run two captures – one just for DNS and DHCP no packet size limitation (port 53 or port 67 or port 68) and the other set for all other traffic with a packet size limitation and no DNS/DHCP. Then merge the two trace files… just an idea.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Limit _certain_ packets to 67 bytes?

 

Hi guys, this is kind of a long shot, but Wireshark has the ability to limit all packets to x bytes in the Capture Options.  Is there a way to only limit packets matching a certain criteria to x bytes?  In this case I need the complete DHCP and DNS packets, but don't want all the content from the UDP packets which is really blowing my .cap's up in size.

Even if I could do it in post-processing somehow I'd be fine with that...

TIA,

Chuck Norris, Vin Diesel and Arnold Schwarzenegger have all died and are in Heaven. Each of them hope to occupy the seat next to God. God asks Vin Diesel why he thinks he should have the seat and Vin replies, "I believe... I should have the seat because of the virtuosity in my toughness and pride." Arnie says, "I believe... that I should be the one sitting next to you because of all my achievements." God then turns to Chuck Norris, who replies with, "I believe... you are sitting in my seat."
