.SH NAME
sniffdet.conf - sniffdet configuration file
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
sniffdet.conf allows you to configure the way sniffdet performs its tests.
It's located in /etc by default and has various sections, all described
below.
.PP
.SH SYNTAX
.PP
The syntax is very simple. Each section has a name and is delimited by
brackets "{}". Inside the section, simple attributions are made to
variables.
.PP
Comments are started with "#" and can be located anywhere in the file.
Everything after a "#" is ignored by the parser until a line break.
.PP
Blank lines are ignored.
.PP
.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
An example of a configuration file follows (it's filled with some default
values from the current implementation of libsniffdet, but should not be
used in production enviroments. We strongly recommend that you create your
own config file to avoid identification of the tests by the sniffers.
.PP
Please notice the example below is not a complete config file. Every
test has almost the same variables, so we're not repeating all of
them here.
