log_tcpdump

The log_tcpdump module logs packets to a tcpdump-formatted file. This is useful for performing post-process analysis on collected traffic with the vast number of tools that are available for examining tcpdump-formatted files. This module only takes a single argument: the name of the output file. Note that the file name will have the UNIX timestamp in seconds appended the file name. This is so that data from separate Snort runs can be kept distinct.
