RE: how to convert payload data from MySQL data table to tcpdump formated data?

["samwun" <samwun () hgcbroadband com>]

Hi Jeff,

How can I add tcpdump output module to my config file? 

My snort.conf file has the following config line enabled:
output database: log, mysql, user=snort password=new_password
dbname=snort host=localhost detail=full

Here is how I start snort in the /etc/init.d/snort file:

[root@nids init.d]# !ps
ps -auxww | grep snort
root     21751  0.0  7.1 31420 27368 ?       R    Oct22   0:27
/usr/local/bin/snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -g snort -vd -e -X
-D

Thanks 
Sam

No need to rebuild a packet.. Try Adding the tcpdump output module to
your config.

output log_tcpdump: snort.log

Will put all log events to a tcpdump file snort.log.
