Dshell is a network forensic analysis framework.
An extensible network forensic analysis framework. Enables rapid development of plugins to support the dissection of network packet captures.
Key features:
- Deep packet analysis using specialized plugins
- Robust stream reassembly
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- Custom output handlers
- Chainable plugins
Requirements
- Linux (developed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7)
- Python 3 (developed with Python 3.6.2)
- pypacker
- pcapy
- pyOpenSSL
- geoip2
Optional
- oui.txt
- used by some plugins that handle MAC addresses
- place in <dshell>/data/
- elasticsearch
- used in the elasticout output module
- only necessary if planning to use elasticsearch to store output
- pyJA3
- used in the tls plugin
Major Changes Since Previous Release
- This is a major framework update to Dshell. Plugins written for the previous version are not compatible with this version, and vice versa.
- Uses Python 3
- Rewritten in Python 3 from the ground up. Python 2 language deprecated on 1 JAN 2020
- By extension, dpkt and pypcap have been replaced with Python3-friendly pypacker and pcapy (respectively).
- Is a Python package
- Converted into a single package, removing the need for the shell to set several environment variables.
- Allows easier use of Dshell plugins in other Python scripts
- Changed "decoders" to "plugins"
- Primarily a word-swap, to clarify that "decoders" can do more than simply decode traffic, and to put Dshell more in line with the terminology of other frameworks.
- Significant reduction in camelCase functions, replaced with more Pythonic snake_case functions.
- Notable examples include blobHandler->blob_handler, rawHandler->raw_handler, connectionInitHandler->connection_init_handler, etc.
- All plugins are now chainable
- To accommodate this, handler functions in plugins must now use return statements indicating whether a packet, connection, or similar will continue to the next plugin. The type of object(s) to return depends on the type of handler, but will generally match the types of the handler's input. Dshell will display a warning if it's not the right type.
- Plugins can now use all output modules* available to the command line switch, -O
- That does not mean every output module will be useful to every plugin (e.g. using netflow output for a plugin that looks at individual packets), but they are available.
- alert(), write(), and dump() are now the same function: write()
- Output modules can be listed with a new flag in decode.py, --list-output or --lo
- Arguments for output modules are now passed with the --oargs command-line argument
- * pcapout is (currently) the exception to this rule. A method has yet to arise that allows it to work with connection-based plugins
- No more dObj declaration
- decode.py just looks for the class named DshellPlugin and creates an instance of that
- Improved error handling
- Dshell handles more of the most common exceptions during everyday use
- Enables development of external plugin packs, allowing the sharing and installation of new, externally-developed plugins without overlapping the core Dshell libraries.
Installation
- Install Dshell with pip
python3 -m pip install Dshell/
ORpython3 -m pip install <Dshell-tarball>
- Configure geoip2 by moving the MaxMind data files (GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb, GeoLite2-City.mmdb, GeoLite2-Country.mmdb) to [...]/site-packages/dshell/data/GeoIP/
- Run
dshell
. This should drop you into aDshell>
prompt.
Basic Usage
decode -l
- This will list all available plugins, alongside basic information about them
decode -h
- Show generic command-line flags available to most plugins
decode -p <plugin>
- Display information about a plugin, including available command line flags
decode -p <plugin> <pcap>
- Run the selected plugin on a pcap file
decode -p <plugin1>+<plugin2> <pcap>
- Chain two (or more) plugins together and run them on a pcap file
decode -p <plugin> -i <interface>
- Run the selected plugin live on an interface (may require superuser privileges)
Usage Examples
Showing DNS lookups in sample traffic
Dshell> decode -p dns ~/pcap/dns.cap |sort
