To export raw network traffic in PCAP format using the command line
Start a command prompt and navigate to the installation directory of Safeguard Desktop Player.
By default, the installation directories on the different operating systems are the following:
On Microsoft Windows platforms: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Software\Safeguard\Safeguard Desktop Player\
On Linux: ~/SafeguardDesktopPlayer
On MacOS: /Applications/Safeguard Desktop Player.app/Contents/Resources/
List the channels in the audit trail, and find the ones that you want to export. Note down the ID number of the channels as it will be required later on (it is 3 in the following example).
Windows: adp.exe --task channel-info --file <path/to/audit-trail.zat>
Linux or MacOS: ./adp --task channel-info --file <path/to/audit-trail.zat>
If the audit trail is encrypted, use the --key <keyfile.pem:passphrase> option. Repeat the option if the audit trail is encrypted with multiple keys. Include the colon (:) character even if the key is not password-protected. Example output:
Channel information : ssh-session-exec-scp:3
Export the channels from the audit trail. Use the ID numbers of the channels from the previous step.
Windows: adp.exe -f <path/to/audit-trail.zat> -c <channel id> -t indexer --export-pcap output.pcap
Linux or MacOS: adp -f <path/to/audit-trail.zat> -c <channel id> -t indexer --export-pcap output.pcap
If the audit trail is encrypted, use the --key <keyfile.pem:passphrase> option. Repeat the option if the audit trail is encrypted with multiple keys. Include the colon (:) character even if the key is not password-protected.
Check the output directory for the exported files.

Open the audit trail in the Safeguard Desktop Player application.
If the audit trail is encrypted, you need the appropriate decryption keys to open it. For details, see Replaying encrypted audit trails.
Click EXPORT > Export pcap.
The Select folder dialog pops up.
Select the directory where you want to save the files. Click Choose.
Once the export process is finished, a FILES dialog pops up, indicating the number of exported files in brackets and listing the files that have been exported.
Files have a number in their names, used for identifying the channels.
This section describes how to export screen content text from text-based protocols (terminal-based protocols and HTTP) in TXT format. Screen content text is saved into files as UTF-8 encoded text with UNIX timestamps.

Once the export process is finished, a FILES dialog pops up, indicating the number of exported files in brackets and listing the files that have been exported.
Filenames follow a pattern. Take the following example:
1415176790.648000-1415176793.926000.txt
Where:
the numbers before the hyphen (-) indicate the beginning of the interval in the session where the screen content text occurred
the numbers after the hyphen (-) indicate the end of the interval in the session where the screen content text occurred
the numbers are provided in UNIX timestamp format
