That depends on what type of binary snort log it is.. Is it a "unified"
alert log, or is it a binary (tcpdump format) packet log?

If it's a tcpdump format packet capture, you read it with tcpdump -r or
snort -r, but this won't help you as the file doesn't contain the alerts
you need, it's just a log of the offending packets.

If it's a unified log, then use the barnyard tool to convert it to an
ascii format:
