I have captured some traffic with Wireshark and saved the result as a file. The file has 3 sections now:
- request headers
- response headers
- response body
The response body is to become an flv file, but now everything is saved as a single file. So I need a way to delete the first two sections from the file, but the problem is that the file is very big (over a thousand mega bytes). I have tried to open it with gedit, but no matter how long I wait, gedit hangs and remains unresponsive until I kill it.
What tool can I use to edit this big file easily?
