Hi Everyone,
I’m new to the forum, and to FIX, and hoping to get some help from the community. A customer of mine has asked for an analysis of a packet capture that he collected from his network. I opened the pcap in Wireshark and the traffic he wants analyzed is a UDP stream. The payload is encoded in binary (hex) so I cannot read it. The customer says he is certain that it is FIX protocol which is what lead me here. I believe that if the underlying message format is FIX, it is mostly likely encoded with the Simple Binary Encoding that is referenced on this site.
My question is if there is a utility that is published by the FIX community that can be used to decode the specific messages in these packets. Ideally it would be a plugin for wireshark, but if I have to extract the data from the pcap into a different file, that will not be a problem.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
