I haven't looked at tcpdump's code in a long time but I think  
Daemonlogger and tcpdump's performance will be very similar.  I  
haven't taken any pains to accelerate anything in Daemonlogger, it's  
simply an interface between libpcap, libdnet and the disk.  IIRC,  
tcpdump when in "-w" mode wrote pretty directly to the disk with  
almost no code overhead if it wasn't being asked to do anything else.   
The chief advantage of Daemonlogger is that it's only about 900 lines  
of code and it probably has more logfile management features than  
tcpdump, although I haven't been keeping up with recent releases of  
that codebase.

Not trying to steal the thread here, but I have to ask since I have
never really stress tested damonlogger. Do you all think it performs
better than tcpdump at writing packets to disk?  This never crossed my
mine to evaluate before now, as I have only used damonlogger to play
traffic out another interface....  If yes, any document on this claim
out there?  Running to Google now to see if I can't find something on
this while I wait for responses ;)

Correction.  You should use Daemonlogger!

snort is not intended to log full reassembled streams, it is
intended to
detect intrusion attempts and log the relevant data associated with
those attempts. If you want full session logging you should use
tcpdump.

I notice that there is a show_rebuilt_packets option in  
steam5_global
configuration, which I have turned on but don't know if it is
producing
anything. I run snort on some traffic collected on a web/dns/mysql
server
using -r flag. The log shows that snort filters out the server's
response
and keeps only the inbound traffic - I am not sure if this
behaviour is
because of the stream 5 processor or else?

Again, a visit to the readme's in the doc/ directory should help
you.
Look up "log_flushed_streams" in the stream4 readme.

Hi All,

Is there a way to log the reassembled (TCP/UDP/ICMP) sessions in
Snort?
