Retrieve allSMTPandDNSpackets

This sample uses an expression in Trisul Filter Format to retrieve allDNS(port 53) andSMTP(port 25) packets into aPCAPfile. This also prints theSHA-1 hash of the packets as returned by the Trisul probe backend.

The packets are saved in a file called GbWzGFXn.pcap.pcap (see the code)
