Forensic analytic tools

NetworkMiner
NetworkMiner is a Network forensic analysis tool (NFAT) for Windows operating systems. NetworkMiner can be used as a passive network sniffer/packet capturing tool in order to detect operating systems, sessions, hostnames, open ports etc. NetworkMiner’s primary purpose is collection of data regarding network hosts, rather than data regarding network traffic. In addition to direct file capture, NetworkMiner can also parse PCAP files for off-line analysis and to regenerate/reassemble transmitted files and certificates from PCAP files. This function can be used for extraction and archiving of media files transferred through the network. Supported file extraction protocols are FTP, SMB and HTTP. Extracted user credentials (username and password) for supported protocols can be found in the Credentials tab. Other useful features include keyword search in the captured/archived data and Nmap MAC vendor lookup.
Xplico
Xplico is an open-source NFAT. The goal of Xplico is the extraction of application data contained in a capture sample of Internet traffic. For example, Xplico can export all e-mails (POP, IMAP and SMTP), HTTP contents, VoIP calls, FTP and TFTP files, etc.
Elastic Stack
Elastic Stack provides reliable and safe transfer of data of any format from any source and real-time searching analysis and visualization. Elastic Stack consists of Kibana, Elasticsearch, Beats and Logstash. Elasticsearch is a search and analytics engine. Beats is a dta gathering platform. Logstash is a server‑side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a “stash” like Elasticsearch. Kibana lets users visualize data with charts and graphs in Elasticsearch.
Sguil
Sguil is built by network security analysts for network security analysts. Sguil’s main component is an intuitive GUI that provides access to realtime events, session data, and raw packet captures. Sguil facilitates the practice of Network Security Monitoring and event driven analysis. The Sguil client is written in tcl/tk and can be run on any operating system that supports tcl/tk (including Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS, and Win32).
