Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Scripts for filtering a directory file captures to only include specific Subne

[Phil_Deming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Estani, thank you so much for getting me started. That was Great Help !
but now:

The Script ran perfectly with the obvious changes needed !
I new the Script  was working, B U T, tcpdump comes back with Permission
Denied. I chmod to 777 and 755 with no effect.
I ran it on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, same results. I googled it and did the
9.04 fix and it didn't fix it.
    (aa-complain /usr/sbin/tcpdump - This will change it to complain)
    (aa-enforce /usr/sbin/tcpdump - This will renable the AppArmor profile
for tcpdump)
When I changed the Script to use tshark it ran perfectly and gave good
results.
What do I do to fix tcpdump on Ubuntu?

  Hi Phil,

I think you could use something like:

for file in second_dir/*; do
     tcpdump -r $file src net a.a.a.a/x dst net b.b.b.b/y >> $file.filtered
done

You could join all resulting files for a given amount of time with
tcpslice if that simple append does not do the trick.

I haven't tested this out, but it should give you a clue as to where to
go from this point.

Cheers,
Estani
