<h1>netbeacon - monitoring your network capture</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>netbeacon is a set of free software tools to send beacons over
|
|
the network to test the accuracy and the precision of your network
|
|
capture framework. With netbeacon you can test the following properties
|
|
of your network capture (e.g. for honeypot packet data capture,
|
|
data interception devices, NIDS, DPI ...):</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>How long it takes for a packet to reach your monitoring.</li>
|
|
<li>Time inconsistencies between devices.</li>
|
|
<li>Finding missing packets or its (re)ordering.</li>
|
|
<li>Watchdog to verify an operational network capture.</li>
|
|
</ul><h2>netbeacon - packet format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The netbeacon format is a simple ASCII format encapsulated in an UDP
|
|
packet. The format is the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>header;epoch;sequence;hmac
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The current header is nb</li>
|
|
<li>The epoch value (in UTC format)</li>
|
|
<li>The sequence an unsigned integer</li>
|
|
<li>and the HMAC-SHA1 signature.</li>
|
|
</ul><p>Each message is encapsulated in UDP and by default using port 12345.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A pre-shared key (PSK) is agreed between the netbeacon sender
|
|
and netbeacon recipient to ensure packet integrity using HMAC (SHA1).
|
|
There is a default key "netbeacon" but we highly recommend to set your
|
|
own for your systems.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>sample netbeacon messages</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is a serie of 3 netbeacon messages extracted from 3 UDP packets:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> nb;1354960619;101;335540bf3dae684c3d5cd5795fd09b9097bad656
|
|
nb;1354960619;102;56fc82c066644f179b58eb84a47e577bf92adc47
|
|
nb;1354960619;103;854207f54c1c4be97bdf4cd4a0d1068731848698
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>netbeacon - usage</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>How to use it?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>On a device where you able to send packets on the monitored/tapped network, you
|
|
can send beacons using nb_send.py</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>python nb_send.py -s -i 3 -d 1.2.3.4
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Where you are processing your network capture, you can run the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>python nb_collect.py -i dag0 | python nb_verify.py -s -t
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>nb_send.py</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> Usage: nb_send.py [options]
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-p PSK, --psk=PSK pre-shared key used by the HMAC-SHA1 (default:
|
|
netbeacon)
|
|
-s, --storeseq store sequence and validate sequence
|
|
-i ITERATION, --iteration=ITERATION
|
|
set the number of interation for sending the netbeacon
|
|
-d DESTINATION, --destination=DESTINATION
|
|
set the destination IPv4 address (default: 127.0.0.1)
|
|
-v, --verbose output netbeacon sent
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>nb_collect.py</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> Usage: nb_collect.py [options]
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-i INTERFACE, --interface=INTERFACE
|
|
live capture on interface (default:lo)
|
|
-r FILEDUMP, --read=FILEDUMP
|
|
read pcap file
|
|
-e EXTENDED, --extended=EXTENDED
|
|
enable extended format including pcap timestamp
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>nb_verify.py</h3>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code> Usage: nb_verify.py [options] <netbeacon messages>
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-t, --timedelta show timedelta
|
|
-s, --storeseq store sequence and validate sequence
|
|
-p PSK, --psk=PSK pre-shared key used by the HMAC-SHA1 (default: netbeacon)
|
|
</code></pre>
