Xplico Interface
With this interface it is possible to create new case, introduce new capture file, view all data extracted by
the decoder.
First we have to log in:
The Case
At this point we have to create a new case. In Xplico the case coincides with listening point (capture point
in the network), this because the Xplico system (decoding manager, decoder, manipulators, …) try to
correlate the data extracted, to:
emulate browser cache
reconstruct P2P files (downloaded in many days)
reconstruct files downloaded with tool similar at DownThemAll [http://www.downthemall.net/]
… and so on
For every case we have to define:
a name (Unique is better)
the source of data, or whether from files or from network interface
optionally an external reference. This external reference can help you to locate the repository of
this new case.

At this point we have a list of all cases created.
The Session
A case is composed of one or more sessions, then selecting a case we enter in sessions page. In Xplico
each session contains the data acquired in a specific time interval, the time intervals of each session must
be disjoint and each stating time of a session must be greater or equal than the ending time of previous
session.
To create a new session inside a case we have to click ”New sol” button. A session is defined only by a
name: session name

As mentioned, every case can have more than one session.
Capture Files
Selecting the session we will enter in the summary page of data decoded for this session.
At each session we can introduce one or more capture file. This can be made with ”Pcap set” form.
Clicking on the ”List” we will get the list of data entered.
In ”Session Data” we report the name of case and the session, the time of start and end of data entered.

In ”Session Data” you can also select the source host and see the data of this host.
Live Capture
If you have create a ”Live Capture Case” then you can select the network interface and start/stop
acquisition, from Session page of XI.
The email page presents a list of all emails sent and received

with:
the time of dispatch
the subject
the sender
the receivers, even if sent as bcc
the size of email (attached included)
The search form permit us to find email by subject, receivers and sender.
Selecting one of the email you see it even if it is in html and contains files attached.
For each email we can obtain the PCAP with only the flow that contains it. To do that we have to point the
mouse upon the info line and click pcap link.

Web
Entering in Web menù we can view all HTTP contents of the session. We can select or serarch a content.
Clicking on a link will open a new page (separated), in which, with Xplico System, will rebuild the full url of
that page, contained in pcap decoded. Xplico System simulate the original cache of the browser, of
course if the pcap (in all sessions of case) contain the data to simulate the cache.
Everything works if and only if the proxy is enabled in Firefox and it is pointing to the server that runs
Xplico System.
Besides, for each contents we can examine the request header, response header and the body by
clicking upon method link.
It is possible to achieve the pcap with inside only the flow that transport the content.

You can also examine all the commands exchanged with the server.
DNS
The DNS page displays all the DNS responses without error, listing the Canonical name if it exist and the

MMS
If the MMS messages (Multimedia Messaging Service) are transported bye HTTP protocol then Xplico
decoder can decompose the MMS message into its content, ie text, video and images.
The main page of MMS reports the list of MMS decoded,
clicking on the link we can see the content of the message.

If you have the MMS message in the binary (raw) form, then you can decode it with mmsdec
[http://projects.xplico.org/mmsdec.html] tool.
NNTP
GeoMap
During a session decoding Xplico produces a KML file, this file, used with Google Earth, allows you to
have a temporal and geographical map of connections decoded by Xplico.
