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

[Phil_Deming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Your rapid reply shocked me. It's 3:30am here.

The same results outside of the script from command line:

tcpdump -r core2_04322.pcap src net172.16.22.173 dst net
192.168.12.22>>filtered.pcap

The result is:  "tcpdump -r core2_04322.pcap src net172.16.22.173 dst net
192.168.12.22>>filtered.pcap:  Permission denied"

Inside the Script named "project3" and chmod to 755.  ls -al shows me root
is the owner of all .pcap files and they are chmod 777
I run:  sudo ./project3
	for file in /traces3/*;do
	tcpdump -r$file src net172.16.22.173/x dst net 192.168.12.22/y>>
$file.filtered
	done

I get:
	tcpdump:  /traces3/core2_04320.pcap:  Permission denied
	tcpdump:  /traces3/core2_04321.pcap:  Permission denied
	tcpdump:  /traces3/core2_04322.pcap:  Permission denied
	tcpdump:  /traces3/core2_04323.pcap:  Permission denied

  Well aparently it should: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527976

the script or always?
