Capturing Data from Tshark

Tshark is a command line packet sniffer. I am trying to find a way to get information from the packet开发者_Python百科s, put it in a variable and do some regular expression on it.

Right now, I am getting this from tshark:

Capturing on eth0
  0.000000 74.125.71.116 -> 112.204.184.111 TCP http > 55828 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=6434 Len=0 TSV=2558834852 TSER=542043
  0.000035 112.204.184.111 -> 74.125.71.116 HTTP Continuation or non-HTTP traffic
  0.000043 112.204.184.111 -> 74.125.71.116 HTTP Continuation or non-HTTP traffic

Note: I am using Ruby.

You can use tshark itself without another utility. This command prints out all URI's from packets as they arrive:

$ tshark -R http.request.full_uri -T fields -e http.request.full_uri -i en0 

You can refine the display filter (the -R parameter) to better match your requirements. It even supports Perl regular expression matching:

# Mac OS X
$ tshark -R 'http.request.full_uri matches "\\.jpg\|\\.js"' -T fields -e http.request.full_uri -i en0 

Example output from visiting youtube.com:

$ tshark -R 'http.request.full_uri matches "\\.jpg\|\\.js"' -T fields -e http.request.full_uri -i en0
Capturing on en0

Note: In Windows, I've seentshark print all URIs in a particular packet in one line without delimiters (e.g., "http://www.google.comhttp://www.google.com/logos/classicplus.png"). Only some packets were affected by this.

You could either pipe this data into a file which you then open and parse with Ruby, or you could use a Ruby lib that can access the same data, such as: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/rubypcap/
