[Oisf-users] Packet data in JSON

Hey, starting from 2.1beta1 Suricata can output packet data, base64
encoded, in JSON. I decided to give it a try and am wondering, how do
I convert the data to pcap format?

I'm talking about

  - eve-log:
      enabled: yes
      type: file
      filename: eve.json
      types:
          - alert:
              payload: yes
              payload-printable: yes
              packet: yes <--- this is interesting.
              http: yes

I.e. the field in JSON

"packet":"eP49SL<packet-data-here>TMfIgGpXxw=="}

I can decode it using base64 -D and get a binary file, but it lacks
pcap wrapping so I can't really open it with anything.

Any ideas where to go from here?
