πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
tracereplay [-b | --broadcast] [-s --snaplength [ snaplength] ] [-f |
--filter [ filter string ] ] inputuri outputuri
π DESCRPTION π
tracereplay takes your inputuri and replays it out to your outputuri, and it does it in trace time, bestie β like, the same timing the packets originally had. it's giving time-travel but make it networking. β³β¨
and the way that checksums are recomputed on the fly?? iconic. you don't gotta worry about that, she handles it. π
π«Ά OPTIONS π«Ά
-b,--broadcastβ swaps the 802.3 (ethernet) destination address out for the broadcast address. so basically it yells your transmitted packets at any hosts on the local network. main character behaviour fr fr π’-s[snaplength],--snaplength[snaplength]β truncates the packets down to the length you specified. lowkey this only makes a difference ifinputuriis a capture device, jsyk. the value should be> 0. if you hand it something inappropriate it just gets ignored, but a warning will be printed at you. π-f[filterstring],--filter[filter]β applies a filter to theinputuri. keep it cute, keep it filtered. π
