flowparser
Flowparser is a tool for parsing TCP/UDP flows from a live trace or a pcap file. It acts like NetFlow, but runs on any Unix-like system and has the added ability to track specific header fields in flows and read .pcap files.
Requirements
Flowparser is a C++ library, and a reasonalby modern c++11 compiler is needed to compile it. It also requires libpcap. Currently it should compile cleanly and work on Linux and OSX.
Installation
After cloning the repository you can compile by:
./autoreconf --install
./configure
make
To run the tests do:
make check
After compiling you should have a .so file that you can link agains. To do a system-wide install the library and all headers do:
make install
Usage
Imagine you have a big .pcap file and you want to find out what flows are longer than 10sec and carry more than 100MB goodput (application-layer payload). Here is a short self-contained example to do this using Flowparser:
#include <flowparser/flowparser.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <thread>
using flowparser::Flow;
using flowparser::FlowParserConfig;
using flowparser::FlowParser;
using flowparser::FlowInfo;
static uint64_t kTenSeconds = 10000000; // microseconds
static uint64_t kTenMB = 100000000; // bytes
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
if (argc != 2) {
std::cout << "Supply exactly one argument.\n";
return -1;
}
std::string filename(argv[1]);
FlowParserConfig fp_cfg;
fp_cfg.OfflineTrace(filename);
auto queue_ptr = std::make_shared<flowparser::Parser::FlowQueue>();
fp_cfg.FlowQueue(queue_ptr);
FlowParser fp(fp_cfg);
std::thread th([&queue_ptr] {
while (true) {
std::unique_ptr<Flow> flow_ptr = queue_ptr->ConsumeOrBlock();
if (!flow_ptr) {
break;
}
FlowInfo info = flow_ptr->GetInfo();
uint64_t duration = info.last_rx - info.first_rx;
if (duration < kTenSeconds || info.total_payload_seen < kTenMB) {
continue;
}
std::cout << flow_ptr->key().ToString() << "\n";
}
});
fp.RunTrace();
th.join();
return 0;
}
You can compile this (assuming it is saved in example_one.cc) with
g++ -g -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -O2 -c -o example_one.o example_one.cc
g++ example_one.o -o example_one -g -lflowparser -lpcap
