Once the pcap file is open in Wireshark, you should see something like this: Figure 1 - Wireshark with pcap file loaded The pcap file I'm using in this example is the one that's listed asĬWSandbox, Sandox execution of malicious ActiveX component (downloads Downloader-BKH) from the list above. I know there are more sites that are not listed, if you know of a good one, please put send a comment. Open your pcap file in Wireshark, if you want to play along at home, the Network Miner project site keeps a list of places where you can get some sample pcap files here. Extracting binaries from pcap files using Wireshark If you find that they are not, here's a short tutorial on how you can extract the files manually. If you've got a packet capture that you want to extract files from, my suggestion would be to try NetworkMiner, it will almost certainly extract most files, if not all, but you'll want to double check to make sure all files were successfully extracted. I have successfully used NetworkMiner with other pcaps to extract all files, so you mileage may vary. This underscores the importance of testing your tools.
However, NetworkMiner failed to automatically extract all the files that were being downloaded in the pcap file I was using.

My plan was to contrast NetworkMiner's automated process against the more manual process of extracting files using Wireshark and a hex editor or the `foremost` command. I like it because it automates the process. I have used NetworkMiner a few times to recover malware from pcaps. When I started writing this post, my intention was to show off some of the capabilities of NetworkMiner for recovering files from network packet captures. Immediately apply the skills and techniques learned in SANS courses, ranges, and summits
