Subject:   Reconstruct meaningful data from tcpdumps?
Message-ID:  <AANLkTilJ5yaHT6Q-oW2JUEHmjkTkY19rCXC3uJPZiCGO@mail.gmail.com>

Is there a way to reconstruct network traffic from a tcpdump file? Or
something similar? As in: analyze the dump file and attempt to
re-construct files transfered though http, ftp, known messenger
protocols, instant message conversations, http requests, web pages,
and so forth?

There's a bunch of tools on Windows that say they do this to some
extent or another, but they require a client-side installation, cost a
lot of money, or are crawling with malicious code. I can read tcpdump
files, (to an extent) but viewing a hex dump of a jpeg is futile.

If that makes any sense.
Thanks guys!
