Re: Snort handling multiple Pcap files

["Asad, Hafiz ul" <Hafiz-ul.Asad () city ac uk>]

Thanks for this! I have two pcap files (about 600 MB each), if I analyse them one-by-one, it took snort 2.9.8.0 about 1 
mint 10 sec to process them. But if I use any option of multiple files, e.g. --pcap-list “<list>”, it takes like 
forever for snort to finish and I have to manually stop it. Any solution for this?

Run snort -h

   --pcap-single <tf>              Same as -r.
   --pcap-file <file>              file that contains a list of pcaps to read - read mode is implied.
   --pcap-list "<list>"            a space separated list of pcaps to read - read mode is implied.
   --pcap-dir <dir>                a directory to recurse to look for pcaps - read mode is implied.

Snort Users,

Is it possible that snort could analyse multiple ‘pcap’ files. To be more specific, is it possible to have ,

Snort  -r file1.pcap file2.pcap….filen.pcap
