iprunner

IP statistics from PCAP files

Written by Markus Thilo GPL-3

Runs through PCAP files and statistically analyzes IP packets. Other packets are ignored. Adresses, ports (on -g), oldest timestamp, youngest timestamp (first seen / last seen), the quantity of packets and the sum of the packet volumes (as given in PCAP files as orig_len) are listed.

This software might not work with all variants of PCAP files. Ethernet link layer should work. PCAPNG is not supported.

The programm uses C standard libraries only. It uses one thread but should run fast compared to complex analysis tools with tons of options. The pure C and code has under 1000 lines.

Compile:

All you need is in the source file: iprunner.c:

gcc -o iprunner iprunner.c

(or use make)

Usage:

Help / show options:

./pcaprunner -h (to get the Options)

Options: -c Do not print headlines for the columns (fields). -r Print timestamps and traffic volumes in human readable format. The time stamps are taken from the PCAP files without any validation or adjustment. -i Invert sort output data (from small to large). -n Sort by number of packets instead of transfered bytes. - Sum up all traffic regardless the transport layer and create a shorter list. This is ignored on -g (grep). -g Grep (filter) for one or two IP addresses. -w FILE Write to CSV/TSV file.

Patterns:

• ADDRESS Sum packets if source or destination address matches.
• ADDRESS-ADDRESS Sum packets if one address is source and one is the destination.

Compression of IPv6 addresses removing colons does not work.

Examples:

./iprunner -r -w out.tsv dump1.pcap dump2.pcap dump3.pcap

./iprunner -g ff02:::::::fb dump.pcap

./iprunner -g 192.168.1.7-216.58.207.78 -w out.tsv dump.pcap
