EtherPeek handles importing and exporting in a different manner. There's actually an import button and export button. Isn’t that great? It would be great if we could import/export a single filter someday though...
To export your filter set, click on the Export Filter button from the Filter window.
Follow these steps to import my sample filter set from www.packet-level.com.
Step 1: | If you bought the hardcopy of this book, go out to www.packet-level.com and download my Ether- Peek sample filter set from the References section. The file is called LAURA[date].FLT where [date] indicates the date that I created the file. As I update this file, the [date] section may change. If you downloaded the softcopy of this file, you probably already noticed that my FLT file was included in the zipped up file. |
Step 2: | From the Filter window, click the Import Filter button. |
Step 3: | Select the LAURA[date].FLT file. |
As mentioned before, EtherPeek requires that you import an entire filter set - the imported filters are added to the existing filter list. The newer versions of EtherPeek check for duplicates before importing filters.
