pcap-rename.py is a program to rename pcap files with a timestamp of the first packet in the pcap file.
The first argument is a template of the new filename. Use %% as a placeholder for the timestamp. Don’t forget the .pcap extension.
The next arguments are the pcap files to be renamed.
You can provide one or more pcap files, use wildcards (*.pcap) and use @file.
@file: file is a text file containing filenames. Each file listed in the text file is processed.
Example to rename pcap files:
pcap-rename.py server-%%.pcap *.pcap
Output:
Renamed: capture1.pcap -> server-20140416-184037-926493.pcap
Renamed: capture2.pcap -> server-20140417-114252-700036.pcap
Renamed: capture3.pcap -> server-20140419-052202-911011.pcap
Renamed: capture4.pcap -> server-20140424-065625-868672.pcap
Use option -n to view the result without actually renaming the pcap files.
This program does not support .pcapng files (yet).
