Data Extractor does not capture BLOCK in a useful manner #1452

Closed timothyscherer closed 1 week ago

timothyscherer commented 3 months ago

I am trying to capture many raw packets using the data extractor, the contents of which are large binary chunks. When I do so, the data field simply says "BINARY", which is not useful at all. I tried using both CONVERTED, RAW, and FORMATTED formats, with the same result each time.

I would like the field column to contain the data represented as a hex string, or something else that actually conveys the content. I'm not particular about the format.

Alternatively, a means to download all packets in the data viewer would work - as it is right now, you can only download the packet you are looking at.

I think we could support outputting binary as a hex string. The danger is that you try to export a huge binary field but that'll be on the user to properly configure their output.
