Default Re: fw monitor help

Hello John,

you have to specify which portion of the packets to be included in your output file. So, for instance, by

fw monitor -x 40,400

which is the same as

fw monitor -l 400 -x 40

This expression means: the next 400 Bytes after leaving out the first 40 ones. I tried it with FTP without VPN or any encryption and you could read the payload of an ASCII document on the command line of the firewall.

I hope I could help you.

Kind regards,
Yasushi
