Xplico Reviews

Xplico Description

Xplico is a prominent tool featured in many leading digital forensics and penetration testing distributions, including Kali Linux, BackTrack, DEFT, Security Onion, Matriux, BackBox, CERT Forensics Tools, Pentoo, and CERT-Toolkit. It supports simultaneous access for multiple users, allowing each to manage one or several cases effectively. The interface is web-based, and its backend database options include SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. Additionally, Xplico can function as a Cloud Network Forensic Analysis Tool. Its primary objective is to extract application data from internet traffic captures, such as retrieving emails via protocols like POP, IMAP, and SMTP, along with HTTP content, VoIP calls through SIP, and file transfers using FTP and TFTP from pcap files. Importantly, Xplico is not classified as a network protocol analyzer. As an open-source Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT), it organizes the reassembled data with an associated XML file that distinctly identifies the data flows and the corresponding pcap file. This structured approach enables users to efficiently analyze and manage the data extracted from network traffic.
