candump and write a pcap using scapy (and python-can)
NOTE: you probably don't need this tool. If you just want to use wireshark to open a candump log file you can do that directly inside wireshark in the newest versions.
> python -m pip install pycanpcap
> python -m pycanpcap.log -i cantact -c 0 -w can.pcap
WARNING: No libpcap provider available ! pcap won't be used
WARNING: Wireshark is installed, but cannot read manuf !
