Forensic Analysis (XMPP)

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to extract the files that are transferred captured under the XMPP/XML Protocol?

I am able to see the filename and size, but i have no idea how to extract/rebuild the image.

Here is the PCAP if you any of you are willing to help.

Is it possible to extract the files that are transferred captured under the XMPP/XML Protocol?

Yes.

Description based on Wireshark 1.12.7. As there are only JPEGs in your pcap file, the following description is related to JPEG files (see remove bytes at the beginning of the file!).

Step #1: Follow the TCP stream.

tcp.stream eq 1

Step #2: right click any frame and select "Follow TCP Stream"
Step #3: In the pop-up window, click "save as" and save the file to a directory
Step #4: get a HEX editor, like HxD
Step #5: open the saved file in the HEX editor
Step #6: remove everything up to the 6 bytes in front of "JFIF"

alt text

Step #7: save the file
Step #8: Open the file with an image viewer.

Hint: 'save as' in the pop-up of 'Follow TCP stream' in 1.99.x somehow cripples the file, so don't use 1.99.x!

Regards
Kurt

You have a trillion packets.

You need to see four of them.

Don't have Wireshark?
