Wow, that's an interesting tool (says the guy with 40k pcaps he can't
share for privacy)
few thoughts:
1. Does this thing effectively handle netbios IP addresses? (Names not
so important)
2. How does it handle things like the user visiting showmyip.com? Can it
recognize and strip/replace that returned IP?
As for how to verify, a hex-level search for the IP address and/or
machine name ought to be a good first step. Would need to verify that
there aren't any gzip'd posts that might contain info, etc.
