The partial global header in a pcap captured in Linux with a proprietary application, streamed from a browsing PC:
Magic Number: 0xa1b2c3d4
Version: 0x02000400 # the order is incorrect
The partial global header in a pcap captured simultaneously on the browsing PC port.
Magic Number: 0xd4c3b2a1
Version: 0x02000400 # order is correct
The question is why does Wireshark decode the Linux capture correctly if the Version# is not swapped, as it should have been as indicated by the magic number order?
My problem is with a third application that does NOT read the linux pcap.
Thanks,
Seth
