Can't you use "pcap" output in barnyard?

So yea…..I’m sure you all saw this coming ;)



Now that I have unified2 output, the long and short is:  what can I do with
it?  I don’t want to run barnyard and pipe to a db…I just want to see the
packets command line.  My research/results so far:



Cerberus:  Old, slow, shareware

U2boat:  errors with no packets output:

[08:10:56:~/log$] u2boat snort-unified.1303847056 ~/test.pcap

Defaulting to pcap output.

Error: incomplete record. 662559 of 1073741824 bytes read.

[08:11:01:~/log$] ls -l ~/test.pcap

-rw------- 1  0 2011-04-27 08:11 //test.pcap

U2spewfoo: errors with no results:

                [08:15:06 :~/log$] u2spewfoo snort-unified.1303847056

get_record: (2) Failed to read all of record data.

Read 662559 of 1073741824 bytes



I looked at mudpit as well, but again, it seems to be just a data
spooler/redirector.  My process for handling snort alerts is:

                See the alert in the logs

                Do a whois on the remote IP

                tshark –X the current snort.pcap file matching the remote
IP to see the raw packet caught



How does unified2 output fit into this type of response?  Thanks for any
help all.
