Logging options
Quiet mode
Netcap writes a general summary to stdout, if you wish to disable output entirely use the -quiet flag:
When the quiet mode is used, the output is instead written into the netcap.log file in the directory where netcap is executed from.
Decoding errors
Errors when parsing packets are logged by default into the errors.log file in the current directory.
Each log entry contains a hex dump of the entire packet and the error message or stack trace.
Log files in debug mode
The following log file are produced when running with the -debug flag:
debug.log: general debug messages
reassembly.log: tcp stream reassembly debug logs
