Re: Snort in offline mode?

[Alex Kirk <alex.kirk () sourcefire com>]

Use the -r <somefile> switch to read packet dumps back in. 
Tcpdump-created files work nicely.

More important, go read http://www.snort.org/docs/snort_manual/ and "man 
snort" before you get started -- you'll discover all sorts of wonderful 
things that way. ;-)
