[re-send- my appologies if you see this more than once]

 
Hi Folks-

I thought the folks on this list might be interested in a little tool
that I have finally packaged up and released. The tool is "tcpsplit"
and it will chop up a libpcap (tcpdump) packet trace into some number of
sub-traces. The splitting is done along TCP connection boundaries so as
to not dump part of a connection in one sub-trace and one part in
another. I have gotten a bunch of mileage out of this tool over the
years to bust a trace into small-ish chunks that can be crunched in a
manageable way. It is also useful for developing analysis on reasonable
sized traces rather than huge datasets.

You can slurp the tool from:

    http://www.icir.org/mallman/software/tcpsplit/

The tool has mostly been developed and used under FreeBSD. I have also
tested it a bit under Linux and Solaris. It compiles (but I have not
rigorously tested it) under OSX. I expect that it will work under other
unix systems, as well. The tool requires libpcap (from
www.tcpdump.org).

I hope it's useful to some of you.
