How to open SNOOP file?
An often recurring problem with Sun SNOOP Capture is that SNOOP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SNOOP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SNOOP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Wireshark
The first step is to check if the computer has the Wireshark program installed. To do this, enter the name Wireshark into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SNOOP.
Programs to open SNOOP file
Remember to download programs supporting SNOOP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Wireshark with SNOOP files
If, despite the installed application, the SNOOP file does not start in the Wireshark application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SNOOP file with the Wireshark program.
Step 3. Update Wireshark to the latest version
If, however, after binding Wireshark with Sun SNOOP Capture there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Gerald Combs page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SNOOP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SNOOP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SNOOP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SNOOP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SNOOP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SNOOP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SNOOP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SNOOP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SNOOP to close. However, some background programs may block the SNOOP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
