Save a custom range of bytes to .pcapng

Hello,

I'm using wireshark to capture UDP. The packets are 1560 bytes. However, the useful data is only present in the first 50 bytes.

So far I've saved everything to .pcapng files and used a script to get what I want. This is long and bothersome.

Is there a way to save only a custom range of bytes for all packets directly with Wireshark ?

To capture less data, look at setting a snaplen in the Capture Options.

To modify an existing capture file, try -C or -s options of the editcap command.

Thank you :) Snaplen takes care of it.

I'm gonna look at the editcap command to improve my process further.
