Importing and exporting files

It is quite common to see a need to share the packet capture file with other operational teams or the vendor for root cause analysis. Such capture files may have a lot of packets, while our interest is in only a specific flow or a set of packets. Instead of sharing the entire file, Wireshark allows you to selectively export the packets into a new file, or even modify the format for easier file transportation. In this recipe, we will discuss the import and export options available in Wireshark.
