> Owner: Nico Golde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > * Package name : tcpxtract > Version : 1.0 > Upstream Author : Nicholas Harbour <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > * URL : http://tcpxtract.sourceforge.net/ > * License : GPL > Description : extracts files from network traffic based on file > signatures > Tcpxtract can caputer files from tcp based network streams. "capture" > It can be greatly combined with network sniffers like tcpdump. "greatly" sounds rather forced. How about "easily" ? Or better yet, something along the lines of "It can easily be made to work with network sniffers like tcpdump" ? > The features are: The following part sounds like you copied it verbatim from an advertisement page. You might want to tone down the singing-of-praises just a bit, although that might be just me... > o Supports 25 popular file formats out-of-the-box. New formats can be added by > simply editing its config file. > o With a quick conversion, you can use your old Foremost config file with > tcpxtract. > o Custom written search algorithm is lightning fast and very scalable. > o Search algorithm searches across packet boundries for total coverage and > forensic quality. > o Uses libpcap, a popular, portable and stable library for network data > capture. > o Can be used against a live network or a tcpdump formatted capture file. Isn't this last one implicit already in the earlier line about "greatly combined with network sniffers" ? > -- > Nico Golde - JAB: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | GPG: 0x73647CFF > http://www.ngolde.de | http://www.muttng.org | http://grml.org > $ route add default roma.it -- Rens Houben | opinions are mine Resident linux guru and sysadmin | if my employers have one Systemec Internet Services. |they'll tell you themselves PGP key at http://swordbreaker.systemec.nl/~shadur/shadur.key.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
