Dshell - Network Forensic Analysis Framework
An extensible network forensic analysis framework. Enables rapid
development of plugins to support the dissection of network packet
captures.
Key features:
- Robust stream reassembly
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Custom output handlers
- Chainable decoders
Prerequisites
- Linux (developed on Ubuntu 12.04)
- Python 2.7
- pygeoip, GNU Lesser GPL
- PyCrypto, custom license
- dpkt, New BSD License
- IPy, BSD 2-Clause License
- pypcap, New BSD License
Installation
- Install all of the necessary Python modules listed above. Many of them are available via pip and/or apt-get. Pygeoip is not yet available as a package and must be installed with pip or manually. All except dpkt are available with pip.
sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-dpkt python-ipy python-pypcapsudo pip install pygeoip
- Configure pygeoip by moving the MaxMind data files (GeoIP.dat, GeoIPv6.dat, GeoIPASNum.dat, GeoIPASNumv6.dat) to /share/GeoIP/
- Run
make. This will build Dshell. - Run
./dshell. This is Dshell. If you get a Dshell> prompt, you're good to go!
Basic usage
-
decode -l- This will list all available decoders alongside basic information about them
-
decode -h- Show generic command-line flags available to most decoders
-
decode -d <decoder>- Display information about a decoder, including available command-line flags
-
decode -d <decoder> <pcap>- Run the selected decoder on a pcap file
Usage Examples
Showing DNS lookups in sample traffic
Dshell> decode -d dns ~/pcap/dns.cap
