RE: Having trouble using -b switch

["Dan Harpold" <danharp () seaburytech com>]

I've been having a similar problem. Whenever I run in binary mode, it shuts
down as soon as it tries to write an entry to the log. It creates the log
file and writes 24 bytes to it. It fails after the first write after that.
In regular mode, it runs fine. I just downloaded the latest version of
winpcap (3.0a).

I am also a newbie to snort, so I may be missing something here. This is
happening on two different machines (similar hardware, both with Intel Pro
100 NIC).

When I run -W, I get the following:

1  \Device\NPF_{guid} {Intel(R) Pro Adapter (Microsoft's PAcket Scheduler) }
2  \Device\NPF_NdisWanIP {NdisWan Adapter (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) }

Any help would be appreciated.

Please do a snort -W to list the interfaces. You may be running into
the libpcap buffer overrun.  In that case, you'll need a newer winpcap.
