Name        : tcpick
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 0.2.1
Release     : 16.fc9
URL         : http://tcpick.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : A tcp stream sniffer, tracker and capturer
Description :
tcpick is a textmode sniffer that can track tcp streams and saves
the data captured in files or displays them in the terminal. Useful
for picking files in a passive way.

It can store all connections in different files, or it can display
all the stream on the terminal. It is useful to keep track of what
users of a network are doing, and is usable with textmode tools
like grep, sed and awk. It can handle eth and ppp interfaces.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fix a buffer overflow in tcpick detected by glibc. The timezone is a bit longer
on 64 bit systems and that triggers a FORTIFY_SOURCE abort.
