Data reassembly with Ethereal



Added by Papergrl

Description: If you're like me, you've probably installed some flavor of Windows Server at some point, and you eventually got around to installing and playing with Network Monitor. Wow! Packet sniffing! You were excited to see what cool new worlds were going to open up to you. You quickly launched Network Monitor, started capturing data... and um... then what. You looked at all the cryptic information you've gathered, and you can decipher bits and pieces - but it's really not all that interesting. Other than source and destination ports and IP addresses, most of it doesn't make a lot of sense. Viewing the data payloads can be mildly interesting - if the information captured was transmitted in clear text, such as an IM conversation, FTP traffic or emails... but a lot of traffic is not transmitted in clear text. So what do you do with that?
