{% hint style="info" %} A note about PCAP vs PCAPNG: there are two versions of the PCAP file format; PCAPNG is newer and not supported by all tools. You may need to convert a file from PCAPNG to PCAP using Wireshark or another compatible tool, in order to work with it in some other tools. {% endhint %}

Online tools for pcaps

Extract Information

The following tools are useful to extract statistics, files, etc.

Wireshark

{% hint style="info" %} If you are going to analyze a PCAP you basically must to know how to use Wireshark {% endhint %}

You can find some Wireshark tricks in:

{% content-ref url="wireshark-tricks.md" %} wireshark-tricks.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Xplico Framework

Xplico (only linux) can analyze a pcap and extract information from it. For example, from a pcap file Xplico, extracts each email (POP, IMAP, and SMTP protocols), all HTTP contents, each VoIP call (SIP), FTP, TFTP, and so on.

Install

sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://repo.xplico.org/ $(lsb_release -s -c) main" /etc/apt/sources.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 791C25CE
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xplico

Qap

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
/etc/init.d/xplico start

Access to 127.0.0.1:9876 with credentials xplico:xplico

Then create a new case, create a new session inside the case and upload the pcap file.

NetworkMiner

Like Xplico it is a tool to analyze and extract objects from pcaps. It has a free edition that you can download here. It works with Windows.
This tool is also useful to get other information analysed from the packets in order to be able to know what was happening in a quicker way.

NetWitness Investigator

You can download NetWitness Investigator from here (It works in Windows).
This is another useful tool that analyses the packets and sorts the information in a useful way to know what is happening inside.

BruteShark

  • Extracting and encoding usernames and passwords (HTTP, FTP, Telnet, IMAP, SMTP...)
  • Extract authentication hashes and crack them using Hashcat (Kerberos, NTLM, CRAM-MD5, HTTP-Digest...)
  • Build a visual network diagram (Network nodes & users)
  • Extract DNS queries
  • Reconstruct all TCP & UDP Sessions
  • File Carving

Capinfos

Ngrep

ngrep vItlhutlh pcap vaj ghaH ngrep. ngrep vaj example ghaH main filters using.

ngrep -I packets.pcap "^GET" "port 80 and tcp and host 192.168 and dst host 192.168 and src host 192.168"

Carving

Using common carving techniques can be useful to extract files and information from the pcap:

{% content-ref url="../partitions-file-systems-carving/file-data-carving-recovery-tools.md" %} file-data-carving-recovery-tools.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Capturing credentials

You can use tools like https://github.com/lgandx/PCredz to parse credentials from a pcap or a live interface.

Suricata

Install and setup

apt-get install suricata
apt-get install oinkmaster
echo "url = http://rules.emergingthreats.net/open/suricata/emerging.rules.tar.gz" >> /etc/oinkmaster.conf
oinkmaster -C /etc/oinkmaster.conf -o /etc/suricata/rules

Qap pcap

To inspect a pcap file, you can use tools like Wireshark or tcpdump. These tools allow you to analyze network traffic captured in the pcap file.

Here are some steps you can follow to check a pcap file:

  1. Open the pcap file in Wireshark or tcpdump.
  2. Analyze the captured packets to understand the network traffic.
  3. Look for any suspicious or abnormal behavior in the packets.
  4. Filter the packets based on specific criteria, such as source or destination IP address, protocol, or port number.
  5. Use the built-in features of the tool to extract relevant information from the packets, such as HTTP requests, DNS queries, or email conversations.
  6. Follow the network flow to identify the source and destination of the traffic.
  7. Look for any signs of malicious activity, such as unusual network connections, unauthorized access attempts, or data exfiltration.
  8. Take note of any findings or evidence that may be relevant to your investigation.

By carefully inspecting the pcap file, you can gain valuable insights into the network traffic and identify any potential security issues or breaches.

DNS info

DNS (Domain Name System) is a fundamental component of the internet that translates domain names into IP addresses. It allows users to access websites and other online resources using easy-to-remember domain names instead of complex IP addresses.

When conducting a forensic analysis of network traffic captured in a PCAP file, inspecting DNS information can provide valuable insights. Here are some key details to look for:

  • DNS Queries: These are requests made by a client to resolve a domain name into an IP address. They typically include the domain name being queried and the type of record being requested (e.g., A, AAAA, MX, NS).

  • DNS Responses: These are the replies from DNS servers to the client's queries. They contain the resolved IP address or other relevant information, such as the time-to-live (TTL) value.

  • DNS Resource Records: These are the individual entries in a DNS response that provide specific information about a domain. Common types include A records (IPv4 address), AAAA records (IPv6 address), MX records (mail server), and NS records (name server).

By analyzing DNS information in a PCAP file, you can gain insights into the communication patterns, identify potential malicious activities (e.g., domain generation algorithms, command and control servers), and uncover valuable information for further investigation.

Remember to consider the context and cross-reference DNS information with other network artifacts to get a comprehensive understanding of the network traffic and potential security incidents.

#Get info about each DNS request performed
cat dns.log | zeek-cut -c id.orig_h query qtype_name answers

#Get the number of times each domain was requested and get the top 10
cat dns.log | zeek-cut query | sort | uniq | rev | cut -d '.' -f 1-2 | rev | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 10

#Get all the IPs
cat dns.log | zeek-cut id.orig_h query | grep 'example\.com' | cut -f 1 | sort | uniq -c

#Sort the most common DNS record request (should be A)
cat dns.log | zeek-cut qtype_name | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
