Your type of person seems familiar to be me. Undeducated *check* opinioned *check* Contrasting authoritatively without any education to back it up *check* pflog generates pcap files. that is the DEFACTO INDUSTRY format for packet logs, since they can be generated at extremely high speed without decomposition, and then can be analysed later, offline, using the pcap library with a sophisticated grammer and bpf executation engine. So now get lost, grow up, go learn something, and stop being a dick comparing things you don't know anything about to other things you don't know anything about. There is no way to forgive people who intentionally step in the shit.
