im using snort -b -L snort.log to get the fastest performance and the
most details. and am running a cron job to extact the details from the
binary file snort.log: snort -vde ....... -r snort.log.
the problem is, when the snort done extracing the information from the
binary file it doesn't clean my snort.log binary to log new
information... so when i run snort -r snort it will give the old plus
the new information. i tried using
# echo  -n "" >  snort.log to empty it so  that it logs only the new
info... but snort -r snort.log refuses to read it and exists with an
error saying bad dump file. any idea?
