Packet decoding

Applications IP Networking

Hi, wondering if anyone can suggest a tool to me that will let me either cut & paste hex or type it in for packet decoding.
I want to be able to decode a packet as done with tcpdump or wireshark, but I want to be able to manually input the hex myself.

Maybe if you explain what you are trying to do (your goal), rather than how you think it should be done, you will get a good answer. Are you trying to alter packets?

My goal was to do it the way I thought it should be done.

I found a solution, text2pcap is a application that comes with wireshark, allows for generation of pcap file from a ASCII hexdump i.e. manual input.

text2pcap - The Wireshark Network Analyzer 1.3.1

Thanks,
