Partitioned pcap file - networking

Question

I received a network traffic capture that is partitioned is several hundred of small .pcap files with the following format:
name.pcap#
where # is a numeration from 1 to 630.
Something like this:
name.pcap1,name.pcap2,name.pcap3,...,name.pcap630
I know that all of them are from one continue capture but it seems that was partitioned.
I don't have a lot experience working with wireshark, and this type of files are new for me. I don't know how to read them as one file.
I was wondering what can I do to resemble all of them in just one file?
Many thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I was wondering what can I do to resemble all of them in just one file?
At least with the current version of Wireshark, if you:
start Wireshark without opening a file - just directly start the application;
select all 630 of the files in Windows Explorer/File Explorer (Windows), the Finder (macOS), or whatever file manager you are using in the GUI (other UN*Xes - Linux, *BSD, Solaris, AIX, etc.);
drag them into Wireshark;
Wireshark should read all the files and combine them into a single file, showing you all the packets.
I tested this on macOS; I have not tested it on Windows or, for example, Ubuntu, but I suspect it would work.
Note that you must select all the files and drag them all in one operation; if you try to drag them one at a time, they won't be combined, Wireshark will just close the currently open one and open the file that you're dragging and dropping.
Alternatively, Wireshark includes mergecap, which is a tool that "merges two or more capture files into one".
It is a command-line tool, so you will have to use it on the command line (UN*X - Linux, macOS, *BSD, Solaris, AIX, etc. - or Windows).
The command would be something such as
mergecap name.pcap* -w merged.pcap
(on UN*Xs) or
mergecap.exe name.pcap* -w merged.pcap
if you were to run it while your command-line shell is in the directory (folder) in which the files are stored. This command will put a new file, named merged.pcap, in that directory.
You will have to make sure that the directory containing mergecap is in your command-line shell's search path, or will have to type the full pathname rather than just mergecap. (The .exe may not be necessary on Windows with some command-line shells, but it doesn't hurt, and may be necessary with other command-line shells.)
On most UN*Xes, mergecap will probably be in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin, both of which are in the command-line shell search path by default.
On macOS, mergecap will probably be in /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/MacOS/; however, if, when you installed Wireshark, you chose to install the Wireshark command-line tools, it will also be in /usr/local/bin, which is, again, in the command-line shell search path by default.
On Windows, mergecap will probably be in C:\Windows\Program Files\Wireshark. That is probably not in the command-line shell search path by default. If you don't put it in your command-line shell search path, you will have to run a command such as
`"C:\Windows\Program Files\Wireshark\mergecap.exe" name.pcap* -w merged.pcap
Adding it to the command-line shell search path is a painful process, so it's probably easier just to use the full path.
You must include the quote characters (because there's a space in "Program Files").
