From 9ea8663420e2b591ff7e43176fbfb2137aacf79c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Sun, 5 May 2013 13:15:10 +0200 Subject: misc: move file to source root Only have Makefile specific folders in the project root where the binaries are stored, the rest should be part of the repository root.

It is able to present TCP, UDP/UDP-lite, SCTP, DCCP, ICMP(v6) -flows that have been collected by the kernel's netfilter connection tracking -framework, thus no packet capturing in user space needs to be done. - -flowtop is able to give you a quick overview of current connections on your -local system, e.g. for debugging purposes or to answer questions like: - - * If you access website X, what other connections are being opened in -the background that I'm not aware of? - * What connections are active that pass ones router? - * I have this proprietary binary Y, where does it connect to? - * To which countries am I sending my data? - * Are there any suspicious background connections on my machine? - * How many connections has binary Z currently active? - -The following information will be presented in flowtop's output: - - * Application name and PID when run on local machine - * Reverse DNS for source and destination - * Geo-location information (country, city) - * Used protocols (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP, SCTP, ICMP, ...) - * Flow port's service name heuristic - * Transport protocol state machine information - -In order for flowtop to work, netfilter/iptables must be active resp. running -on your machine, thus kernel-side connection tracking is active. - -flowtop's intention is just to get a quick look over your active connections. -If you want to have logging, have a look at netfilter's conntrack(8) tools -instead. - -.SH OPTIONS - -.SS -4, --ipv4 -Display IPv4 flows. That's default when flowtop is started without -any arguments. - -.SS -6, --ipv6 -Display IPv6 flows. That's default when flowtop is started without -any arguments. - -.SS -T, --tcp -Display TCP flows. That's default when flowtop is started without -any arguments. - -.SS -U, --udp -Display UDP and UDP-lite flows. - -.SS -D, --dccp -Display DCCP flows. - -.SS -I, --icmp -Display ICMP version 4 and version 6 flows. - -.SS -S, --sctp -Display SCTP flows. - -.SS -s, --show-src -Also show source information of the flow, not only destination information. - -.SS -u, --update -The built-in database update mechanism will be invoked to get Maxmind's -latest database. To configure search locations for databases, the file -/etc/netsniff-ng/geoip.conf contains possible addresses. Thus, to save -bandwidth or for mirroring Maxmind's databases (to bypass their traffic -limit policy), different hosts or IP addresses can be placed into geoip.conf, -separated by a newline. - -.SS -v, --version -Show versioning information. - -.SS -h, --help -Show user help. - -.SH USAGE EXAMPLE - -.SS flowtop -Default ncurses output for flowtop that tracks IPv4, IPv6 flows for TCP. - -.SS flowtop -46UTDISs -This example enables maximum display options for flowtop. - -.SH CONFIG FILES - -Under /etc/netsniff-ng/ there are the following files stored that are used -by flowtop and can be extended if wished: - - * tcp.conf - TCP port/services map - * udp.conf - UDP port/services map - * geoip.conf - GeoIP database mirrors - -.SH BUGS -During fairly high till high connection tracking updates, flowtop's scrolling -can become shortly unresponsive. The right fix would be to replace flowtop's -connection management backend with a better design resp. locking approach. -Still on todo. - -.SH LEGAL -flowtop is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2.0. - -.SH HISTORY -.B flowtop -was originally written for the netsniff-ng toolkit by Daniel Borkmann.
