Dshell

An extensible network forensic analysis framework. Enables rapid development of plugins to support the dissection of network packet captures.

Key features:

  • Deep packet analysis using specialized plugins
  • Robust stream reassembly
  • IPv4 and IPv6 support
  • Multiple user-selectable output formats and the ability to create custom output handlers
  • Chainable plugins
  • Parallel processing option to divide the handling of data source into separate Python processes
  • Enables development of external plugin packs to share and install new externally developed plugins without overlapping the core Dshell plugin directories

Guides

  • Dshell User Guide
    • A guide to installation as well as both basic and advanced analysis with examples
    • Helps new and experienced end users with using and understanding the decoder-shell (Dshell) framework
  • Dshell Developer Guide
    • A guide to plugin development with basic examples, as well as core function and class definitions, and an overview of data flow
    • Helps end users develop new, custom Dshell plugins as well as modify existing plugins

Requirements

Optional

  • oui.txt
    • used by some plugins that handle MAC addresses
    • place in <dshell>/data/
  • elasticsearch
    • used in the elasticout output module
    • only necessary if planning to use elasticsearch to store output
  • pyJA3
    • used in the tls plugin

Installation

  1. Install Dshell with pip
  • python3 -m pip install Dshell/ OR python3 -m pip install <Dshell-tarball>
  1. Configure geoip2 by placing the MaxMind GeoLite2 data set files (GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb, GeoLite2-City.mmdb, GeoLite2-Country.mmdb) in [...]/site-packages/dshell/data/GeoIP/
  2. Run dshell. This should drop you into a Dshell> prompt.

Basic Usage

  • decode -l
    • This will list all available plugins, alongside basic information about them
  • decode -h
    • Show generic command-line flags available to most plugins, such as the color blind friendly mode for all color output
  • decode -p <plugin>
    • Display information about a plugin, including available command line flags
  • decode -p <plugin> <pcap>
    • Run the selected plugin on a pcap or pcapng file
  • decode -p <plugin1>+<plugin2> <pcap>
    • Chain two (or more) plugins together and run them on a pcap file
  • decode -p <plugin> -i <interface>
    • Run the selected plugin live on an interface (may require superuser privileges)

Usage Examples

Showing DNS lookups in sample traffic

Dshell> decode -p dns ~/pcap/dns.cap | sort
