 tcpxtract is a tool for extracting files from network traffic based on
 file signatures. Extracting files based on file type headers and footers
 (sometimes called "carving") is an age old data recovery technique. Tools
 like Foremost employ this technique to recover files from arbitrary data
 streams. Tcpxtract uses this technique specifically for the application of
 intercepting files transmitted across a network. Other tools that fill a
 similar need are driftnet and EtherPEG. driftnet and EtherPEG are tools
 for monitoring and extracting graphic files on a network and is commonly
 used by network administrators to police the internet activity of their
 users. The major limitations of driftnet and EtherPEG is that they only
 support three filetypes with no easy way of adding more. The search
 technique they use is also not scalable and does not search across packet
 boundries.
