Description: extract files from network traffic based on file signatures
tcpxtract is a fast console tool to extract files from network traffic
based on file headers and footers and its patterns (so called carving).
.
Currently, 26 file formats are supported out of the box by tcpxtract but
new formats can be added without problems. Foremost configurations are
simple to convert to tcpxtract configuration files.
.
tcpxtract uses libpcap. So, it can read network dumps generated by tcpdump
or wireshark or similar programs. tcpxtract is useful in network auditing
and for forensics investigations.
