Changelog: 2001-01-02 mfr <roesch () md prestige net> fy <fygrave () tigerteam net> … * Added SIGUSR1 handler, Snort will dump packet stats to console/syslog … We haven’t removed it, it’s too important for us. If you have snort output running to syslog or being piped somewhere, then that would be where to look.

It doesn’t work for me. But it seems the snort 3 manual has this. Do you know when this was added?

See “Packet I/O Totals” for packets read so far. --pcap-list will run a batch of pcaps, but be aware that Snort resets between each pcap so you would probably still need to do your merge.

If I have only one pcap I use pipe viewer (the pv command) like this: pv x.pcap | snort -r - If I have more than one pcap, e.g. from a big tcpdump run, I merge all of them on the fly using joincap ( https://github.com/assafmo/joincap ) like this: joincap *.pcap | pv -s $(du -bc *.pcap | awk '/total/{print $1}') | snort -r - This way pv print progress and ETA information while snort is running. :-) Shameless plug - I wrote joincap specifically for these kind of situations, because mergecap and tcpslice does not handle errors very well. _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists snort org<mailto:Snort-users () lists snort org> Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.snort.org/mailman/listinfo/snort-users To unsubscribe, send an email to: snort-users-leave () lists snort org Please visit http://blog.snort.org to stay current on all the latest Snort news!
