Motivation for Network Monitoring Essential for Network Management Router and Firewall policy Detecting abnormal/error in networking Access control Security Management Detecting abnormal traffic Traffic log for future forensic analysis 3

Tools Overview Tcpdump Unix-based command-line tool used to intercept packets Reads “live traffic” from interface specified using -i option or from a previously recorded trace file specified using -r option You create these when capturing live traffic using -w option Tshark Including filtering to just the packets of interest Tcpdump-like capture program that comes w/ Wireshark Very similar behavior & flags to tcpdump Wireshark GUI for displaying tcpdump/tshark packet traces 4

Tcpdump example Ran tcpdump on a Unix machine First few lines of the output: 01:46:28.808262 IP danjo.CS.Berkeley.EDU.ssh adsl-69-228-2307.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net.2481: . 2513546054:2513547434(1380) ack 1268355216 win 12816 01:46:28.808271 IP danjo.CS.Berkeley.EDU.ssh adsl-69-228-2307.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net.2481: P 1380:2128(748) ack 1 win 12816 01:46:28.808276 IP danjo.CS.Berkeley.EDU.ssh adsl-69-228-2307.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net.2481: . 2128:3508(1380) ack 1 win 12816 01:46:28.890021 IP adsl-69-228-230-7.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net.2481 danjo.CS.Berkeley.EDU.ssh: P 1:49(48) ack 1380 win 16560 5

What does a line convey? Timestamp This Source is an IPhost packet name Source port number (22) 01:46:28.808262 IP danjo.CS.Berkeley.EDU.ssh adsl-69-228-230-7.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net.2481: . 2513546054:2513547434(1380) ack 1268355216 win 12816 Destination host name Destination port number TCP specific information Different output formats for different packet types 6

Demo 1 – Basic Run Syntax: tcpdump [options] [filter expression] Unfortunately, Eustis machine does not allow normal users to run tcpdump I will demonstrate it on my group’s Unix machine: cnsserver.eecs.ucf.edu sudo tcpdump –i eth0 On your own Unix machine, you can run it using “sudo” or directly run “tcpdump” Observe the output 8

Filters We are often not interested in all packets flowing through the network Use filters to capture only packets of interest to us 9

Demo 2 Capture only udp packets 1. tcpdump “udp” Capture only tcp packets 2. tcpdump “tcp” 10

Demo 2 (contd.) Capture only UDP packets with destination port 53 (DNS requests) 1. tcpdump “udp dst port 53” Capture only UDP packets with source port 53 (DNS replies) 2. tcpdump “udp src port 53” Capture only UDP packets with source or destination port 53 (DNS requests and replies) 3. tcpdump “udp port 53” 11

Demo 2 (contd.) Capture only packets destined to quasar.cs.berkeley.edu 1. tcpdump “dst host quasar.cs.berkeley.edu” Capture both DNS packets and TCP packets to/from quasar.cs.berkeley.edu 2. tcpdump “(tcp and host quasar.cs.berkeley.edu) or udp port 53” 12

How to write filters Refer the tcpdump/tshark man page Many example webpages on the Internet 13

Running tcpdump Requires superuser/administrator privileges on Unix http://www.tcpdump.org/ You can do it on your own Unix machine You can install a Linux OS in Vmware on your machine Tcpdump for Windows WinDump: http://www.winpcap.org/windump/ Free software 14

So What is WireShark? Packet sniffer/protocol analyzer Open Source Network Tool Latest version of the ethereal tool

What is tShark? The command-line based packet capture tool Equivalent to Wireshark 16

Display Filters (Post-Filters) Display filters (also called post-filters) only filter the view of what you are seeing. All packets in the capture still exist in the trace Display filters use their own format and are much more powerful then capture filters

Display Filter

Display Filter Examples ip.src 10.1.11.00/24 ip.addr 192.168.1.10 && ip.addr 192.168.1.20 tcp.port 80 tcp.port 3389 !(ip.addr 192.168.1.10 && ip.addr 192.168.1.20) (ip.addr 192.168.1.10 && ip.addr 192.168.1.20) && (tcp.port 445 tcp.port 139) (ip.addr 192.168.1.10 && ip.addr 192.168.1.20) && (udp.port 67 udp.port 68) tcp.dstport 80

Display Filter 32

Display Filter String1, String2 (Optional settings): Sub protocol categories inside the protocol. Look for a protocol and then click on the " " character. Example: tcp.srcport 80 tcp.flags 2 tcp.flags 18 SYN packet Tcp.flags.syn 1 SYN/ACK Note of TCP Flag field: 33

Display Filter Expressions snmp dns icmp tcp.port 25 Display packets with TCP source or destination port 25. tcp.flags Display the SNMP or DNS or ICMP traffics. Display packets having a TCP flags tcp.flags.syn 0x02 Display packets with a TCP SYN flag. the filter syntax is correct, it will be highlighted in green, therwise if there is a syntax mistake it will be highlighted in red. Correct syntax Wrong syntax 34

Save Filtered Packets After Using Display Filter We can also save all filtered packets in text file for further analysis Operation: File Export packet dissections as “plain text” file 1). In “packet range” option, select “Displayed” 2). In choose “summary line” or “detail” 35

Follow TCP Stream

Follow TCP Stream red - stuff you sent blue - stuff you get

Filter out/in Single TCP Stream When click “filter out this TCP stream” in previous page’s box, new filter string will contain like: http and !(tcp.stream eq 5) So, if you use “tcp.stream eq 5” as filter string, you keep this HTTP session 40

Use the “Copy” button to copy all text into clipboard Then, you can analyze this text file to get what statistics you want 45

Find EndPoint Statistics Menu “statistics” “endpoint list” “TCP” You can sort by field “Tx” : transmit “Rx” : receive 46

Improving WireShark Performance Don’t use capture filters Increase your read buffer size Don’t update the screen dynamically Get a faster computer Use a TAP Don’t resolve names

Post-Processing Text File For saved text-format packet files, further analysis needs coding or special tools One useful tool on Unix: Grep On Windows: PowerGrep http://www.powergrep.com/ Command-line based utility for searching plain-text data sets for lines matching a regular expression. 58

Basic usage of Grep Command-line text-search program in Linux Some useful usage: Grep ‘word’ filename # find lines with ‘word’ Grep –v ‘word’ filename # find lines without ‘word’ Grep ‘ word’ filename # find lines beginning with ‘word’ Grep ‘word’ filename file2 # output lines with ‘word’ to file2 ls -l grep rwxrwxrwx # list files that have ‘rwxrwxrwx’ feature grep ' [0-4]‘ filename # find lines beginning with any of the numbers from 0-4 Grep –c ‘word’ filename # find lines with ‘word’ and print out the number of these lines Grep –i ‘word’ filename # find lines with ‘word’ regardless of case Many tutorials on grep online http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/ http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/03/15-practical-unix-grep-commandexamples/ 59
