NAME

chaosreader - trace network sessions and export it to html format
 

DESCRIPTION

Chaosreader traces TCP/UDP/others sessions and fetches application data from snoop or tcpdump logs. This is a type of "any-snarf" program, as it will fetch telnet sessions, FTP files, HTTP transfers (HTML, GIF, JPEG etc) and SMTP emails from the captured data inside network traffic logs. A html index file is created to that links to all the session details, including realtime replay programs for telnet, rlogin, IRC, X11 and VNC sessions. Chaosreader reports such as image reports and HTTP GET/POST content reports.
 
Chaosreader can also run in standalone mode, where it invokes tcpdump to create the log files and then processes them.
