New version with lots more parsing: https://github.com/DanMcInerney/net-creds

creds.py

Harvest FTP/POP/IMAP/HTTP/IRC credentials along with interesting data from each of the protocols. If no interface is specified with the -i option the script will use the internet connected interface it finds via ip route. Concatenates fragmented packets so as to not miss any important info. Upon catching a Ctrl-C, will print a list of credentials for each IP address that was sniffed on the network along with the server they sent them to.
