Is there a way to recreate the data in a capture into it's original format? For example: You are monitoring e-mail traffic, suspecting that company secrets are being leaked by e-mail. How could you recreate an e-mail and any attachments from a capture? Are there utilities that can rebuild the captured packets?

If you use Ethereal (free) and open the Sniffer TRace, you can select 'follow TCP Stream'.

Not pretty but may help out. 'Making things work better; bit by bit.'
 
I'll check it out. Thanks

You might want to look at App Dancer Really cool presentation of showing you the exact email, webpage, streaming video or audio.

It can read trace files or capture itself.

There's a free download on their site with a time limited version, but fully functional.

Appdancer looks very cool... yet another toy to play with in my spare time ;-)
