Hello,
        Our commercial product ContExt (Content Extractor) will create images/docs
from a raw packet stream 7x24 in real-time and handle frags, out of sequence
packets etc. It creates web reports of the content and allows searches and
tracking of addresses. Its a hardware/software solution packaged as a
device. It handles GIG ethernet and 20,000+ concurrent connections.

It supports JPEG/GIF/PNG/Word/Excel/MP3/PDF/PS/POP3/MBOX/PPT/ZIP etc etc
formats that you can view from a web page.

See http://www.inetd.com for details. It supports PCAP recordings as well as
live traffic.

Its not free, so maybe thats no use to you.

Joe.

Anyone know where to obtain information of re-assembling TCP/UDP data

I mean I have captured data using Tcpdump (i.e. raw data), how to I
recombine the data into the orginal word attachment (or like)?

There's more to it than just "re-assembling TCP/UDP data streams"; as
you said "word attachment", it sounds as if you're talking about e-mail,
in which case, for example, reassembling a TCP data stream for an SMTP
session would give you the SMTP traffic - but you'd have to extract the
stuff sent with the "DATA" command, and then de-MIMEify it to extract
the attachments.

Similarly, for a document downloaded with HTTP, reassembly would give
you only the HTTP traffic; you'd have to extract the document from that.
