| 20160143082 | METHOD FOR DETECTING A MESSAGE FROM A GROUP OF PACKETS TRANSMITTED IN A CONNECTION - A group of packets are extracted based on data captured from packets transmitted between communication apparatuses, where each packet has an identical transmission source address or an identical transmission destination address, and is transmitted in an identical connection. First and second beginning-packet candidates, which are transmitted within the identical connection, are identified based on a time difference of capturing individual packets included in the group of packets. A message length is calculated from lengths of packets including the first beginning packet candidate, captured before capturing the second beginning-packet candidate and after capturing the first beginning-packet candidate. A position, at which a message length of a message formed by the group of packets is stored, is estimated from the first beginning-packet candidate, based on the calculated message length, and the message formed by the group of packets is detected in accordance with the message length stored at the estimated position. | 05-19-2016 |
