NAME
log2pcap - Extract network traces from Samba log files
SYNOPSIS
log2pcap [-h] [-q] [logfile] [pcap_file]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
log2pcap reads in a samba log file and generates a pcap file (readable by most sniffers, such as ethereal or tcpdump) based on the packet dumps in the log file.
The log file must have a log level of at least 5 to get the SMB header/parameters right, 10 to get the first 512 data bytes of the packet and 50 to get the whole packet.
OPTIONS
-h
-q
logfile
pcap_file

EXAMPLES
Extract all network traffic from all samba log files:
$ log2pcap < /var/log/* > trace.pcap
Convert to pcap using text2pcap:
$ log2pcap -h samba.log | text2pcap -T 139,139 - trace.pcap
VERSION
This man page is part of version 4.21.0 of the Samba suite.
BUGS
Only SMB data is extracted from the samba logs, no LDAP, NetBIOS lookup or other data.
The generated TCP and IP headers don't contain a valid checksum.
