prism-strip

The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. Especially when it comes to link types in pcap files. Prism-strip started off as simple tool to remove the prism header from pcap files. Once I added support for more and more formats (and deviations from formats, more precisely) it became a misnomer but the name still sticks.

prism-strip can convert any format of 802.11 pcap file i've run across into a nice *clean* normal DLT_IEEE802_11 pcap file. Current that means it can convert

normal DLT_IEEE_802_11 files with an extra FCS
prism headers
prism header with extra FCS appended
avs headers
avs headers with the extra FCS appended

into nice normal pcap files. Note that since prism-strip can handle all these formats that means the rest of the tools using libairware can as well.
