Description: Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT)
This package contains a Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT) that performs
deep processing and inspection of network traffic (mainly PCAP files, but it
also capable of directly live capturing from a network interface). It
includes: password extracting, building a network map, reconstruct TCP
sessions, extract hashes of encrypted passwords and even convert them to a
Hashcat format in order to perform an offline Brute Force attack.
.
The main goal of the project is to provide solution to security researchers
and network administrators with the task of network traffic analysis while
they try to identify weaknesses that can be used by a potential attacker to
gain access to critical points on the network.
.
On Linux it is a Command Line Interface tool.
