Hello, I wanna get a size of image transactions from my pcap data. When I see the pcap file using wireshark, I can see that there is a JPEF image soundly. However, when I use tshark, http.file_data turns out some trash value --> ���� The command was:

tshark -nr ./pcap -o ssl.keylog_file:./key -Y 'frame.number==287' -T fields -e http.file_data

How can I get the right image data using tshark? Thanks for any info you can provide.

I doubt the whole image is contained in just one frame (287)

If all you want is the image type and size, you can pull them from the Content-Length and Content-Type headers of each 200 OK response (assuming that the server application inserts those headers as it should), like so:

tshark -o ssl.keylog_file:random-sites-keys -Y"http.response.code == 200 && http.content_length && (http.content_type contains "image")" -T fields -e frame.number -e http.content_type -e http.content_length -r random-site.pcapng

You need to specify http.response.code == 200 in the filter because other HTTP methods (e.g. POST) and responses (e.g. 3xx) can contain Content-Length and Content-Type headers; filtering for 200 ensures that you'll only get results for successful server responses.

Here's a sample of the output from the tshark command above:

Thanks for your reply! Then, if I want complete reassembled data, what kind of a tshark command I should use?
