Havent used it but there is a tool called MATshark.. Matshark and Pyshark are tools that integrate Wireshark's packet dissection engine into the Matlab and Python programming environments, respectively. Though it works only on Linux. Pretty sure they help read .pcap files in matlab

Tool is available at

Hi

I use TCPdump for monitoring ethernet or wifi interface and capture all traffic.

You can sent the data to TXT file, and you can process the file with matlab

Example

>tcpdump -enni 4 >> test.txt

You can use the function "textread" in matlab read the file.

Good luck

Hi,

We created a software TracesPlay which goal is to read binary pcap. You can find more details here: http://tracesplay.sourceforge.net/ There are libraries for linux, windows and OS.
