Dshell

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

Installation

  1. 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.

  2. sudo apt-get install python-crypto python-dpkt python-ipy python-pypcap

  3. sudo pip install pygeoip

  4. Configure pygeoip by moving the MaxMind data files (GeoIP.dat, GeoIPv6.dat, GeoIPASNum.dat, GeoIPASNumv6.dat) to /share/GeoIP/

  5. Run make. This will build Dshell.

  6. 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

Dshell> decode -d dns ~/pcap/dns.cap
