Subject: [ARGUS] argus icmp flow bug?

Carter,

It seems that I have this odd argus data when converted from pcap, here's my pcap data -

sudo tcpdump -ttttnnr ~/i-Pcaps/ICMP-Research/icmpshell.pcap

After convert to argus file and read with ra -

The IP becomes backward(192.168.0.250: <http://192.168.0.250> becomes 250.0.168.192: <http://250.0.168.192> ). Let me know if you need the pcap, I have tested with few pcap with icmp data and it seems to have the same result.
