Vomit

Vomit (spelled all lower-case) is a Unix software utility that takes IP telephony packets captured by another Unix tool, tcpdump, and reassembles them into a Wave file that can be listened to over a computer's speakers. Although vomit can be used for network debugging or as a speaker-phone utility, it is most often associated with VoIP eavesdropping attacks.
