Re: Sometimes HTTP.log fails to generate from PCAP file

Try this on your pcap file to see all analyzed events:

Bro Dump Events policy script:

bro -C -r file.pcap policy/misc/dump-events.bro

I would also expect if your trace is a partial capture that Bro will create a weird log entry with a description of what’s going on.

I’ve looked at a couple of examples and thought maybe it is because there is no SYN-ACK before the HTTP connection in the PCAP (the researcher who generated the PCAP may have cut this out or not captured it).
