== Advanced Packet Filtering ==
 
Use Case:
 
I am analyzing an SMB issue. I have 50 PCAP files, each of 100 MB, generated by the intermediate devices.
I am not sure which all files contain the interesting traffic. Searching each file manually using wireshark is hectic.
Client addresses are 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2. Server address is 3.3.3.3. Protocol is SMB2 (port 445).
We can use Tshark or TCPDump for this exercise. Tshakr is slow in Linux & TCPDump is very fast.
Wireshark Filter:
((ip.addr==1.1.1.1 or ip.addr==2.2.2.2) and ip.addr==3.3.3.3) and smb
 
 
List all Pcap files using any of the below commands:
find . -type f | egrep "All.pcap"
find . -type f | egrep ".pcap"
find . -type f | egrep "*.pcap"
find . -type f | grep ".pcap"
find . -type f | grep "pcap"
 
 
List interesting traffic from all the PCAP files:
<pre style="width: 2000px; overflow-x: scroll;">
for i in `find . -type f | egrep "All.pcap"`; do echo $i; tshark -r $i '((ip.addr==1.1.1.1 or ip.addr==2.2.2.2) and ip.addr==3.3.3.3) and smb' ; echo -e "\n"; done
</pre>
 
Filter out errors:
<pre style="width: 2000px; overflow-x: scroll;">
for i in `find . -type f | egrep "All.pcap"`; do echo $i; tshark -r $i '((ip.addr==1.1.1.1 or ip.addr==2.2.2.2) and ip.addr==3.3.3.3) and smb2' ; echo -e "\n"; done | grep -E '(error|unknown|denied)'
</pre>
 
Filter out errors and save output to text file in backgroup:
<pre style="width: 2000px; overflow-x: scroll;">
for i in `find . -type f | egrep "All.pcap"`; do echo $i; tshark -r $i '((ip.addr==1.1.1.1 or ip.addr==2.2.2.2) and ip.addr==3.3.3.3) and smb2' ; echo -e "\n"; done | grep -E '(error|unknown|denied)' > errors.txt &
</pre>
 
Show Timestamps in the output and save it to a text file:
<pre style="width: 2000px; overflow-x: scroll;">
for i in `find . -type f | egrep "All.pcap"`; do echo $i; tshark -t ad -r $i '((ip.addr==1.1.1.1 or ip.addr==2.2.2.2) and ip.addr==3.3.3.3) and smb2' ; echo -e "\n"; done > smb-time.txt
 
a absolute time (local time in your time zone, actual time the packet was captured)
ad absolute with date
u Absolute UTC time
ud Absolute UTC time with date
</pre>
 
Search for keyworks in hte text files created along with traces:
for i in `find . -type f | egrep ".txt"`; do echo $i; cat $i ; echo -e "\n"; done | grep smb2.lock
 
 
Using TCPDump instead of Tshark
<pre style="width: 2000px; overflow-x: scroll;">
for i in `find . -type f | egrep "All.pcap"`; do echo $i; tcpdump -r $i '((host 1.1.1.1 or host 2.2.2.2) and host 3.3.3.3) and port 445' ; echo -e "\n"; done
</pre>
 
= Misc =
 
* In IE, disable HTTP1.1 in Advanced options to see the traffic being sent in HTTP1.0 version. Now you will be able to see traffic in Clear text in wireshark captures. HTTP1.1 uses gzip to compress html, so it is not read in clear text. You will find multiple connections for a single webpage.
 
* In Wireshark, anyting you see in square brackets - [bla bla] is the wireshar analysis of the information & is not the part of the packet captured.
 
==Non-Root Capture in Ubuntu==
sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
sudo groupadd wireshark
sudo usermod -a -G wireshark kirat
newgrp wireshark
sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
sudo chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
 
Verification:
getcap /usr/bin/dumpcap => /usr/bin/dumpcap = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip
 
If still unable to capture:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/dumpcap
 
==Tshark==
apt-get install tshark
tshark -r lotsapackets.cap -R dns -w dns.cap
tshark -r lotsapackets.cap -R "dns or tcp.port==80" -w web.cap
capinfos web.cap
editcap -c 50000 lotsapackets.cap fewerpackets.cap
