-Description:
-
- Nitpicker is (currently) running under *BSD and Linux.
- It is designed for the berkley packet filter (BPF).
- (Sun Solaris(c) packet filter is currently examined).
- Linux doesn't have a device like the bpf,
- so you need to have libpcap ( Notice: We strongly recommend using *BSD )
- Nitpicker accesses the raw ethernet frames and reads the header informations.
- Nitpicker will write the flows into a file when there are n flows in the savequeue.
- They are moved there after n seconds passed since the flowstart
- (This prevents never-ending flows like news to be written too)
-
- The flowfile is called flow.<unixtimestamp>.u At the end of a dumping period,
- the .u files will be renamed to *.s, and new .u files will be created
