Daemonlogger settings

Daemonlogger Soft Tap

1. 1)It sniffs packets and spools them straight to the disk and can daemonize itself for background packet logging. By default the file rolls over when 1 GB of data is logged.
   

2. 2)It sniffs packets and rewrites them to a second interface, essentially acting as a soft tap. It can also do this in daemon mode.

For ubuntu, installation is simply a matter of

- apt-get install daemonlogger

Config for capturing all packets to log file of format of time-date for reference

daemonlogger -i interface_name -l path_to_write_pcaps_to -u user_to_run_as_after_starting -n `date +"%H%M-%d%m%Y"` -S 0 -s 50000000

-S 0 captures all packets

-s 50000000 limits files written to approx 50Mb
