This tool extracts interesting bits from network traffic. One use is to feed the “hamster” tool. Another use is to dump the output intoa text file, then use indexers and grep programs to analyze it.

Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install ferret-sidejack`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
