Publisher's Description of tcpindex

" A tool for capturing network packets and then indexing them for later searching. "
- From Citrix Online, LLC

tcpindex is a tool for capturing network packets and then indexing them for later searching. tcpindex allows the contents of network packets to be searched using keywords in the same way as a web search engine.

tcpindex captures packets from a LAN and indexes all of the strings from those packets in an inverted index so they can be efficiently searched using keywords. Think of it like a simple search engine for packets across the network.

tcpindex acts a simple search engine for instant access to the content of packets that have traveled across the network. Once downloaded and installed, the tool captures packets from a LAN and indexes all of the strings from those packets in an inverted index. This ensures that they can be efficiently searched using keywords and that the search performance is nearly constant no matter how large the index is.

The project was initiated by Dr. Chris Waters, GoToManage co-founder and CTO, to bring two important IT and security concepts together. The first is that packet capture is critical for troubleshooting network problems and investigating security concerns. And the second is that search is the most efficient solution for any problem that requires ad hoc investigation. Search is particularly good for network related problems because tons of data is created every minute and lots of complex and hidden relationships exist between the computers, content, and users.

tcpindex is ideally suited for network administrators to troubleshoot network problems, for security professionals to investigate security problems, and for developers to debug protocol implementations. The tool is built on the shoulders of a number of important projects. In particular, tcpindex uses the Clucene indexing code and the libpcap/winpcap packet capture libraries. tcpindex depends upon WinPcap. WinPcap should be installed before running tcpindex. In many cases, WinPcap will already be installed if you have Ethereal or Packetyzer or another packet capture tool.
