Extract text from Packet capture files (SNOOP)
To convert SNOOP Captures to another format, you need Wireshark or other System software.
To convert other file formats to the "Network Traffic Log" file type, you need software like Wireshark or a similar tool.
A .snoop file is a network packet capture log, originally defined by Sun Microsystems in RFC 1761 for the Solaris snoop utility. Today, it is most frequently encountered by developers as btsnoop_hci.log, a debug log generated by Android devices to record Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (HCI) traffic.
While .snoop was a standard in the 90s, it has largely been superseded by the Libpcap (PCAP) format. Users often face friction because modern cloud-based network analyzers, intrusion detection systems, and even some versions of tcpdump do not natively support the older Snoop format. Furthermore, because the file is binary, it cannot be opened in a text editor like Notepad++ to view packet headers. To analyze these logs in modern industry-standard tools or to parse them with Python scripts, the most practical workflow is to convert them to PCAP or PCAPNG. For non-technical reporting, converting to CSV allows for easy filtering in spreadsheet software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SNOOP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted LAST, EXERCISE and PCAPNG files.
If you want to convert SNOOP file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Wireshark or similar software from the "Network Packet Capture" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to SNOOP, try Wireshark or another comparable tool in the "Network Packet Capture" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SNOOP converter.
