Description: trace network sessions and export it to html format
Chaosreader traces TCP/UDP/others sessions and fetches application data from
snoop or tcpdump logs (or other libpcap compatible programs). This is a type
of "any-snarf" program, as it will fetch telnet sessions, FTP files, HTTP
transfers (HTML, GIF, JPEG etc) and SMTP emails from the captured data inside
network traffic logs. A html index file is created to that links to all the
session details, including realtime replay programs for telnet, rlogin, IRC,
X11 and VNC sessions. Chaosreader reports such as image reports and HTTP
GET/POST content reports.
.
It also creates replay programs for telnet sessions, so that you can play
them back in realtime (or even different speeds).
.
Chaosreader can also run in standalone mode, where it invokes tcpdump or
snoop (a similar to tcpdump program for Solaris) to create the log files
and then processes them.
.
This package is useful for forensics investigations and for network traffic
analysis.
