What is an SNOOP file?

SNOOP files mostly belong to Wireshark. SNOOP files are binary logs created during network captures. They store raw packet data collected by applications like Wireshark for later analysis.
There are two main uses for these files:
  • Network Capture Logs: These files log general network traffic which can include various protocol data and timestamps.
  • Bluetooth HCI Logs: They also record Bluetooth protocol events, commands, and responses. This type of log helps diagnose issues in Bluetooth communication and is detailed on the Wireshark webpage.
  • FilExt.com tip: To view these files, open them in Wireshark. The software decodes the binary format into readable packet details for troubleshooting and protocol analysis.

    How can I open an SNOOP file?

    You need a suitable software like Wireshark to open an SNOOP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SNOOP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SNOOP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
