# Please feel free to use or redistribute this program if you find it useful.
# If you have suggestions, or even better, bits of new code, send them to me
# and I will add them when I have time. The current version of this script
# can always be found at the URL:

#
# Parse ipmon output into a coherent form. This program only handles the
# lines regarding filter actions. It does not parse nat and state lines.
#
# Present lines from ipmon to this program on standard input.
#
# EXAMPLES
#
# plog -A block,log < /var/log/ipf
#
# Generate source and destination reports of all packets logged with
# block or log actions.
#
# plog -S -s ./services www.example.com < /var/log/ipf
#
# Generate a source report of traffic to or from www.example.com using
# the additional services defined in ./services.
#
# plog -nSA block < /var/log/ipf
#
# Generate a source report of all blocked packets with no hostname
# lookups. This is handy for an initial pass to identify portscans or
# other aggressive traffic.
#
# TODO
#
# - Handle output from ipmon -v.
# - Handle timestamps from other locales. Anyone with a timestamp problem
# please email me the format of your timestamps.
# - It looks as though short TCP or UDP packets will break things, but I
# haven't seen any yet.
#
# CHANGES
#
# 2000/04/12 (0.9):
# - Wasn't handling underscore in hostname,servicename fields; these may be
# logged using ipmon -n. Observation by <ark@eltex.ru>.
# - Hadn't properly attributed observation and fix for repetition counter in
# 0.8 change log. Added John Ladwig to attribution. Thanks, John.
#
# 2000/04/10 (0.8):
# - Service names can also have hyphens, dummy. I wasn't allowing these
# either. Observation and fix thanks to Taso N. Devetzis
# <devetzis@snet.net>.
# - IP Filter now logs a repetition counter. Observation and fixes (changed
# slightly) from Andy Kreiling <Andy@ntcs-inc.com> and John Ladwig
# <jladwig@nts.umn.edu>.
# - Added fix to handle new Solaris log format, e.g.:
# Nov 30 04:49:37 raoul ipmon[121]: [ID 702911 local0.warning] 04:49:36.420
541 hme0 @0:34 b 205.152.16.6,58596 -> 204.60.220.24,113 PR tcp len 20 44
# Fix thanks to Taso N. Devetzis <devetzis@SNET.Net>.
# - Added services map option.
# - Added options for generating only source/destination tables.
# - Added verbosity option.
# - Added option for reporting traffic for specific hosts.
# - Added some more ICMP unreachable codes, and made code and type names
# match the ones in IP Filter parse.c.
# - Condensed output format somewhat.
# - Various minor improvements, perhaps slight speed improvements.
# - Documented new options in usage() and tried to improve wording.
#
# 1999/08/02 (0.7):
# - Hostnames can have hyphens, dummy. I wasn't allowing them in the syslog
# line. Fix from Antoine Verheijen <antoine.verheijen@ualberta.ca>.
#
# 1999/05/05 (0.6):
# - IRIX syslog prefixes the hostname with a severity code. Handle it. Fix
# from John Ladwig <jladwig@nts.umn.edu>.
#
# 1999/05/05 (0.5):
# - Protocols other than TCP, UDP, or ICMP have packet lengths reported in
# parentheses for some reason. The script now handles this. Thanks to
# Dispatcher <dispatch@blackhelicopters.org>.
# - I had mixed up info-request and info-reply ICMP codes, and omitted the
# traceroute code. Sorted this out. I had also missed code 0 for type 6
# (alternate address for host). Thanks to John Ladwig <jladwig@nts.umn.edu>.
#
# 1999/05/03:
# - Now accepts hostnames in the source and destination address fields, as
# well as port names in the port fields. This allows the people who are
# using ipmon -n to still use plog. Note that if you are logging
# hostnames, you are vulnerable to forgery of DNS information, modified
# DNS information, and your log files will be larger also. If you are
# using this program you can have it look up the names for you (still
# vulnerable to forgery) and keep your logged addresses all in numeric
# format, so that packets from the same source will always show the same
# source address regardless of what's up with DNS. Obviously, I don't
# favor using ipmon -n. Nevertheless, some people wanted this, so here it
# is.
# - Added S and n flags to %acts hash. Thanks to Stephen J. Roznowski
# <sjr@home.net>.
# - Stopped reporting host IPs twice when numeric output was requested.
# Thanks, yet again, to Stephen J. Roznowski <sjr@home.net>.
# - Number of minor tweaks that might speed it up a bit, and some comments.
# - Put the script back up on the web site. I had moved the site and
# forgotten to move the tool.
#
# 1999/02/04:
# - Changed log line parser to accept fully-qualified name in the logging
# host field. Thanks to Stephen J. Roznowski <sjr@home.net>.
#
# 1999/01/22:
# - Changed high port strategy to use 65536 for unknown high ports so that
# they are sorted last.
#
# 1999/01/21:
# - Moved icmp parsing to output loop.
# - Added parsing of icmp codes, and more types.
# - Changed packet sort routine to sort by port number rather than service
# name.
#
# 1999/01/20:
# - Fixed problem matching ipmon log lines. Sometimes they have "/ipmon" in
# them, sometimes just "ipmon".
# - Added numeric parse option to turn off hostname lookups.
# - Moved summary to usage() sub.

Parses logging from ipmon and presents it in a comprehensible format. This
program generates two reports: one organized by source address and another
organized by destination address. For the first report, source addresses are
sorted by IP address. For each address, all packets originating at the address
are presented in a tabular form, where all packets with the same source and
destination address and port are counted as a single entry. Any port number
greater than 1023 that does not match an entry in the services table is treated
as a "high" port; all high ports are coalesced into the same entry. The fields
for the source address report are:
iface action packet-count proto src-port dest-ip dest-port
The fields for the destination address report are:
iface action packet-count proto dest-port src-ip src-port
Options are:
-n Disable hostname lookups, and report only IP addresses.
-S Generate a source address report.
-D Generate a destination address report.
-s map Supply an alternate services map to be preloaded. The map should
be in the same format as /etc/services. Any service name not found
in the map will be looked for in the system services file.
-A act1,... Limit the report to the specified actions. The possible actions ar
e
pass, block, log, short, and nomatch.
If any hostnames are supplied on the command line, the report is limited to
these hosts. If a host has multiple addresses, only the first address will be
considered.
If neither -S nor -D is given, both reports are generated.
Note: if you are logging traffic with ipmon -n, ipmon will already have looked
up and logged addresses as hostnames where possible. This has an important side
effect: this program will translate the hostnames back into IP addresses which
may not match the original addresses of the logged packets because of numerous
DNS issues. If you care about where packets are really coming from, you simply
cannot rely on ipmon -n. An attacker with control of his reverse DNS can map
the reverse lookup to anything he likes. If you haven't logged the numeric IP
address, there's no way to discover the source of an attack reliably. For this
reason, I strongly recommend that you run ipmon without the -n option, and use
this or a similar script to do reverse lookups during analysis, rather than
during logging.
