But Brent already answered that, and I'd meant to point it out.  You can 
read the file you created with 'tcpdump -w' using 'tcpdump -ra {other 
stuff}' or better yet--wait for it--Wireshark.  The nice part is that 
you only pay the GUI tax when it makes sense and is useful (i.e., 
during analysis), rather than during collection.

The Northcut _Network Intrusion Detection_, Sptizner _Know Your Enemy_ 
books and SANS GIAC cert material are invaluable for figuring out what 
the heck it is that you are looking at.

Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
