Re: Cannot read .pcap file's contents with tcpdump

[Bibudh Lahiri <bibudh () gmail com>]

Hi Guy,
   Thanks for your prompt reply.
   I downloaded the file from the following location:

   https://data.caida.org/datasets/passive-2008/equinix-chicago/20080319/

   I downloaded the file by simply using the Firefox browser. Can this cause
the problem? I tried to use wget to download the file, using the following
command, but the result was as follows


 wget -np -m https://data.caida.org/datasets/passive-2008/
--14:42:03--  https://data.caida.org/datasets/passive-2008/
           => `data.caida.org/datasets/passive-2008/index.html'
   Resolving data.caida.org... done.
   Connecting to data.caida.org[192.172.226.7]:443... connected.
   HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Authorization Required
   Authorization failed.

   FINISHED --14:42:04--
   Downloaded: 0 bytes in 0 files

   I also tried to get an authorized access by providing my user-id and
password with the --http-user and --http-password options respectively,
but then wget reported --http-password as an unknown option.
