Readme

Doggo is a simple package that helps to read the details of the http going out or in from a network socket. It should dump data for the visualizations to pick up. This data can be used to analyse the network better. Idea is to have the ability to understand the protocol data better to figure out issues with a paticular interface.

Design

Steps to Run

Assuming your go environment is all setup.

$ go get github.com/georgethomas111/doggo
$ cd $WORKSPACE/github.com/georgethomas111/doggo
$ go build cmd/doggo.go

Usage options can be obtained by

$ ./doggo -help

Help options

Usage of ./doggo:
  -interface string
        The interface to sniff. (default "wlan0")
  -ls
        List interfaces
  -port string
        Port to listen for web requests. eg :8080 (default ":8080")

To list available interfaces to listen on.

$ go run cmd/doggo.go -ls

Sample Output

lo
wlan0
arcbr0
veth_android

To listen on wlan0 network interface.

$ sudo ./doggo

sudo is required as the interface requires root permissions to read from. The graphs can be viewed by opening a browser and going to
http://localhost:8080

Sample output

Waiting for interrupt
^CReceived interrupt. Bye use me again.

To listen on a different interface veth_andoid and to view the results

$ sudo ./doggo -interface veth_android

To change the port the web server is listening to use the following

$ sudo ./doggo -interface veth_android -port :8081

This will make sure the webpage is available at http://localhost:8081

Components

• network - This is the package that interacts with the system network interfaces. - The stats client is called which handles the data.
• stats - stats collects the stats from the network and uses the plotting libraries to create visualizations.

Future work

• Add a UI for stats with bootstrap.
• Clean the data and dump into a te series data base for easy querying.
