Tobias, Either way works for me. The issue I had was that the only way I could see all the data was with --hex , but then didn't get the headers- which are pretty handy!

Exactly, that's the default behavior. But it looks like with the nlmsg dissector (which wasn't included in 0.5.7 yet) this doesn't work. As suggested in the reply to Vadim, I'd like to refrain from introducing new command-line options and instead stick to the standard behavior (dump disectable data as such and the rest as hex/ascii) for nlmsg as well. Dumpping both the known headers as well as the _full_ packet in hex/ascii doesn't seem very intuitive to me. > The net link version seems to skip the last step - where it displays > in hex the parts of the packet it hasn't decoded? Yes, looks like it. I'll check whether I can come up with a fix. Thanks Tobias -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "netsniff-ng" group.
