Q:

Identifying protocol in a pcap file?

Is it possible to identify a protocol in a pcap file? I have a file which is a capture of data going between my phone and an IP camera, and I'd like to identify the protocol. I am using the app "MEye" to view the camera, which provides no hints of the protocol used.
I have tried googling the headers in some of the packets, but to no avail.
The pcap file can be found here.
Is it possible to identify the protocol at all?

Yes, but this appears to be a proprietary protocol over TCP/IP.
The first four bytes of every message is a 32-bit big-endian value that specifies the length of the following bytes in the message.
The messages aren't encrypted, so you might be able to do some data carving. But if you really want to know what's going on, your best bet is to reverse engineer your "MEye" app as opposed to relying solely on the packet capture to understand the protocol.
