I just grabbed a file from packettotal.  Is there any way to run it against
my current rules set to see if it triggers anything?

“Best” would depend on what you are trying to do.

If you are “tweaking/tuning/learning/testing” etc .. rules then a pcap
definitely works better than trying to use live traffic.

Even with live traffic you may want to log things in binary format that
alert.

Then come back and analyze them later.

What is the best way to set snort up?  Either have it just look at the
live packets as they come in or to form a pcap then to look into the pcap?
