Data Acquisition from tcpdump: Recovering and Reconstituting Clickstream Data

Abstract

This paper investigates the feasibility of extracting clickstream data from network traces. Clickstream data capture the user Web browsing behavior and require the user's consent for the acquisition of this data directly from the browser. Extracting this data from network traces will provide another source of data for research as well as enable forensic Web analytics.
