Description:
Inspired by
EtherPEG (though, not owning an Apple Macintosh, I've never actually seen it in operation), Driftnet is a program which listens to network traffic and picks out images from TCP streams it observes. Fun to run on a host which sees lots of web traffic. In an experimental enhancement, driftnet now picks out MPEG audio streams from network traffic and tries to play them. You can also now use driftnet with
Jamie Zawinski's webcollage, so that it can run as a screen saver :)
You can download Driftnet from their website.
In this video, dborup shows us a demo of Driftnet and how easy it is to recreate and display images by packet sniffing on the interface. It is important to note that the victim will have to be on the same braodcast domain and this will not work on a switched network by default. Another interesting tool which we covered in the same league was
Xplico. You can
watch the video here.
Thanks go out to dborup (skintmonkey [] gmail [] com) for creating and submitting this video to us! This is a recommnded watch for those interested in doing more with their pcap files, than just viewing them on Wireshark :) Also, as one can imagine, Driftnet has some good applications in Network Forensics.
