Dumpy

Dumpy is a simple to install, and simple to use web front end for PCAP spool file directories such as those produced by daemonlogger or tcpdump.

Setup

1. First, setup at least one pcap spool directory. This can be done using daemonlogger (http://www.snort.org/snort-downloads/additional-downloads#daemonlogger) or other tools like it. Example command:

   daemonlogger -i eth0 -l /data/capture -s 1000000000 -M 70 -r

2. Download a dumpy binary package (https://github.com/jasonish/dumpy/releases) or build from source. Note: Requires libpcap to be installed.

3. Configure:

   • Add a spool. The following command will create a spool named “default” (note: the name default has no special meaning), with directory /data/capture and a filename prefix of daemonlogger.pcap - this matches the use of daemonlogger above):

     ./dumpy config spool add default /data/capture daemonlogger.pcap
     

   • Add a user:

     ./dumpy config passwd username password
     

4. Start dumpy:

   ./dumpy start
   

5. Then point your browser at http://:7000/

Building

Building dumpy requires a Go(lang) development environment. Additionally libpcap with development headers is also required. Assuming thos requirements are satisfied:

1. Install Go dependencies:

   make get-go-deps
   

2. Build:

   make
   

   or

   go build
