tcpeek

Introduction

tcpeek is a Network Monitor that monitors and aggregates the errors that occur when a TCP session is established (3way handshake).

It has the following features:

Error detection

You can aggregate TCP sessions that failed to connect

  • Counts Sessions rejected by RST
  • ICMP Unreach counts the sessions that have detected inaccessibility
  • The connection counts the sessions that timed out

Resending detection

You can aggregate TCP sessions where retransmissions occur

  • Counts sessions where the retransmission of the SYN segment occurred
  • SYN / ACK counts the sessions where the segment retransmission occurred

Filter

You can specify a filter to summarize individually

  • Direction of communication・specify the filter in the combination of IP address and port number
  • Multiple filters can be specified
    • You can also specify a filter such as excluding this port

Data output

Outputs the aggregated data via UNIX domain socket

  • Output in JSON format that is easy to handle with scripts
  • Comes with a script (tcpeekstat) to output rrd via Ganglia gmetric

How to install

$ git clone git://github.com/pandax381/tcpeek.git
$ cd tcpeek
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

How to use

usage: tcpeek [option]... [expression]...
  option:
    -u --user=uid         # it works setuid to the specified user
    -i --interface=dev    # specifies the interface name (for example, eth0)
    -U --socket=path      # UNIX specifies the path of the domain socket (default:/var/run/tcpeek/tcpeek.sock)
    -c --checksum=[0|1|2] # Specify the checksum verification mode 0=No verification 1 = only IP header 2 = IP header+TCP header (default: 0)
    -t --timeout=sec      # Session timeout (default: 60)
    -B --buffer           # specify the buffer size of libpcap in MB (default: 2)
    -l --loglevel=LEVEL   # SYSLOG level (default: LOG_NOTICE) ※ status is not working
    -q --quiet            # Specify this option to suppress real-time session information output
       --promisc          # Specify this option to operate in promiscuous mode
       --icmp             # Specify this option to interpret ICMP unreachable messages
    -h --help             # Exit with help
    -v --version          # Display the version and exit
  expression:
    [filter]:dir@addr:port[:port...][,...]
  example) '%' is the same as wildcard '*'
    tcpeek -i eth0 filter:RX@%:80:443
    tcpeek -i eth0 filter:TX@192.168.0.0/24:%
    tcpeek -i eth0 filter1:RX@%:80:443 filter2:TX@192.168.0.0/24:%

if you specify only the interface in the -i option, it will work anyway (by default, the filters RX:RX@*:* and TX:TX@*:* are specified).

$ sudo ./tcpeek -i eth0

expression It is a bit more complicated to specify, but it is specified as follows.

Filter name: communication direction (RX|TX)@IP address: port number

  • Multiple filters can be specified.

    filter1:RX@192.168.0.1:80 filter2:TX@192.168.0.2:80

  • The IP address and port number are % and the World card can be specified.

    filter:TX@%:%

  • The IP address can also be a network address.

    filter:TX@192.168.0.0/24:%

  • You can specify multiple port numbers with a : separator.

    filter:TX@192.168.0.1:80:443:8080

  • You can specify more than one combination of IP address and port number separated by ,.

    filter:TX@192.168.0.1:80:443:8080,192.168.0.2:80,192.168.0.3:80:8080

  • If you omit the filter name, it becomes an exclusion filter, the session that matches the condition will not be recorded in all filters (the order of description does not matter).

    :RX@*:22 :TX@*:22

Sessions that match more than one filter will be aggregated across all applicable filters

Result output

when tcpeek is executed, the information of the TCP session is output to the standard error in real time.

$ sudo ./tcpeek -i eth0
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

====================================

This statistic can also be obtained while tcpeek is running by using the tcpeekstat command described below.

tcpeekstat

usage: tcpeekstat [OPTION]
  [OPTION]
    -g  --gmetric      # exec gmetric
    -U  --socket=path  # unix domain socket (default: /var/run/tcpeek/tcpeek.sock)
    -v  --version      # version
    -h  --help         # help

you can run tcpeekstat to get statistics from a running tcpeek.

$ sudo ./tcpeekstat

run with the -g option to output the rrd via Ganglia's 'gmetric' command.

$ sudo ./tcpeekstat -g

when -g option is not selected, the difference is output from the accumulated data at startup, and when it was last executed with -g option if there is a -g option

Notes

libpcap must be installed (libpcap recommends the latest version http://www.tcpdump.org/#latest-release).
