ArchivePcap

Mini tool to check if pcap is compressed and, if not, compresses it using gzip. The resulting file is then renamed back to the name without .gz extension which Wireshare will happily open.

To find all files and adjust them, if needed:

find /Data -type f -name "*.pcap*" -exec archivepcap {} \;
