I am facing the same issue. I need to parse a UDP packet and can't do it. Please let me
know what can I do.

Thanks,

Be sure to open your file in binary mode. Otherwise, the raw data content of the pcap
file will not be interpreted correctly.

Open your file like this:
f = open('capture.pcap', 'rb')

I also ran into this problem. Opening the file in binary mode makes no difference.
What I did notice however is that it that you don't run into this problem if you are
running dpkt on Linux. It seems to be Windows-specific. Any ideas? Thanks.

I believe Windows has some LFS issues when using longs for read/seek/tell/etc.
Unfortunately, I don't have a 32-bit Windows machine to reproduce on.

I have the same problem on my Windows XP machine. Running in cygwin solves the problem. I also added some debug prints in pcap.py and it looks like the file read function does not return enough bytes.

Opening the file in binary mode solved my problem.

On Windows, pcap files should be opened in binary mode (rb). Closing the issue.
