Thank you for the comment. I will review network miner. I like open source forensic tools and love seeing progress in their development and use. I also feel that is is important that individuals are armed with a detailed understanding of how things work, which can be a problem if it is just a ‘tool’ they use. Technical understanding is important especially for credibility in court or in front of a executive team. To say “I did this with product X” is one thing, but you get more credibility if you can explain that this is how it actually works, and how the product does it.

There is also a description for how to go about in order to dump media files (video, music etc.) to disk without first creating a pcap file. The description is available at the NetworkMiner wiki:

NetworkMiner is, however, a Windows application. But you can run it under *nix OS’s by using Wine. Check this blog post out: Drunken Monkey: Running Network Miner with Wine
