snort: Capture packets with verbose output.
$ sudo snort -v -i ${interface}
try on your machine
This command is used to run the Snort intrusion detection and prevention system with the "-v" (verbose) flag to display detailed output and the "-i" flag to specify the network interface on which Snort should monitor for network traffic.
The "sudo" part of the command is used to run it with administrative or superuser privileges, as Snort requires access to certain network devices and settings that typically require elevated permissions.
The "${interface}" placeholder is used to represent a variable that should be replaced with the name of the network interface you want to monitor. For example, if you want to monitor the "eth0" interface, you would replace "${interface}" with "eth0" in the command.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
