All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Net::LibNIDS

No one can say I don't listen to comments! I renamed to module to Net::LibNIDS as per comments on this forum. Up to date compiling and test passing example at the fotango opensource subversion repository: http://opensource.fotango.com/svn/trunk/perlnids/

Now please, how the hell do I write portable tests for a network sniffer! (And no, you can't portable sniff on loopback interfaces)

You'd have pluggable ethernet inputs and be able to replay from a file and test what it finds from that. You still can't test the live ethernet stuff meaningfully, but you can test the IDS part.

I can actually do that, I can replay tcpdump binary files. Thank you Nat! That makes it a lot simpler.
