[Xplico 1.1.0] Open Source Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT)
The goal of Xplico is extract from an internet traffic capture the applications data contained.
For example, from a pcap file Xplico extracts each email (POP, IMAP, and
SMTP protocols), all HTTP contents, each VoIP call (SIP), FTP, TFTP,
and so on. Xplico isn’t a network protocol analyzer. Xplico is an open
source Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT).

Features
- Protocols supported: HTTP, SIP, IMAP, POP, SMTP, TCP, UDP, IPv6, …;
- Port Independent Protocol Identification (PIPI) for each application protocol;
- Multithreading;
- Output data and information in SQLite database or Mysql database and/or files;
- At each data reassembled by Xplico is associated a XML file that uniquely identifies the flows and the pcap containing the data reassembled;
- Realtime elaboration (depends on the number of flows, the types of protocols and by the performance of computer -RAM, CPU, HD access time, …-);
- TCP reassembly with ACK verification for any packet or soft ACK verification;
- Reverse DNS lookup from DNS packages contained in the inputs files (pcap), not from external DNS server;
- No size limit on data entry or the number of files entrance (the only limit is HD size);
- IPv4 and IPv6 support;
- Modularity. Each Xplico component is modular. The input interface, the protocol decoder (Dissector) and the output interface (dispatcher) are all modules;
- The ability to easily create any kind of dispatcher with which to organize the data extracted in the most appropriate and useful to you;
