Snort Sniffer mode

Like tcpdump, Snort has various flags capable of viewing various data about the packet it is ingesting.

Sniffer mode parameters are explained below;

-v	Verbose. Display the TCP/IP output in the console.
-d	Display the packet data (payload).
-e	Display the link-layer (TCP/IP/UDP/ICMP) headers.
-X	Display the full packet details in HEX.
-i	This parameter helps to define a specific network interface to listen/sniff. Once you have multiple interfaces, you can choose a specific interface to sniff.
