NAME
etterlog - Log analyzer for ettercap log files
SYNOPSIS
etterlog [OPTIONS] FILE
DESCRIPTION
Etterlog is the log analyzer for logfiles created by ettercap. It can handle both
compressed (created with -Lc) or uncompressed logfiles. With this tool you can manipulate
binary files as you like and you can print data in different ways all the times you want
(in contrast with the previous logging system which was used to dump in a single static
manner).
You will be able to dump traffic from only one connection of your choice, from only one or
more hosts, print data in hex, ascii, binary etc...
TIP: All non-useful messages are printed to stderr, so you can save the output from
etterlog with the following command:
etterlog [options] logfile > outfile
Thus you can dump for example a binary file from an ftp connection if you print the
data in binary mode, without headers and selecting only the ftp server as the
source of the communication.
GENERAL OPTIONS
-a, --analyze
Analyze a log file and display some interesting statistics.
-c, --connections
Parse the log file and print a table of unique connections (port to port). This
option can be used only on LOG_PACKET logfiles. On LOG_INFO logfiles it is useless.
TIP: you can search for a particular host by using the following command:
etterlog -c logfile.ecp | grep 10.0.0.1
-f, --filter <TARGET>
Print only packets coming from or going to TARGET. The TARGET specification is the
same as in ettercap.
TARGET is in the form MAC/IPs/PORTs. With IPv6 support enabled, TARGET is in the
form MAC/IPs/IPv6/PORTs. Omitting one or more of its parts will be equivalent to
set them to ANY. IPs and IPv6 will be treated as one part so that it's only set to
ANY if both IPs and IPv6 is omitted. This concludes in a result most users would
expect.
If the log type is LOG_INFO the target is used to display hosts matching the mac,
ip and having the specified port(s) open. For example the target //80 will display
only information about hosts with a running web server.
-r, --reverse
Reverse the matching in the TARGET selection. It means not(TARGET). All but the
selected TARGET.
-t, --proto <PROTO>
Sniff only PROTO packets (default is TCP + UDP). This option is only useful in
"simple" mode. If you start ettercap in interactive mode both TCP and UDP are
sniffed.
PROTO can be "tcp", "udp" or "all" for both.
-F, --filcon <CONNECTION>
Print packets belonging only to this CONNECTION.
CONNECTION is in the form PROTO:SOURCE:DEST. SOURCE and DEST are in the form
IP:PORT.
example:
etterlog -F TCP:10.0.0.23:3318:198.182.196.56:80
-s, --only-source
Display only packets that are sent by the source of the selected CONNECTION. This
option makes sense only in conjunction with the -F option.
TIP: if you want to save a file transferred in an HTTP or FTP connection, you can
use the following command:
etterlog -B -s -n -F TCP:10.0.0.1:20:10.0.0.2:35426 logfile.ecp > example.tar.gz
-d, --only-dest
Same as --only-source but it filters on the destination host.
-n, --no-headers
Do not print the header of each packet. This option is useful if you want to save a
file in binary format (-B option). Without the headers you can redirect the output
to a file and you will get the original stream.
NOTE: the time stamp in the header is in the form: Thu Mar 27 23:03:31 2003
[169396], the value in the square brackets is expressed in microseconds
-m, --show-mac
In the headers show also the mac addresses corresponding to the ip addresses.
-k, --color
If used in conjunction with -F it displays the source and dest of the connection
using different colors. If used with a LOG_INFO file it prints LAN hosts in green,
REMOTE hosts in blue and GATEWAYS in red.
-l, --only-local
Used displaying an INFO file, it displays information only about local hosts.
-L, --only-remote
Used displaying an INFO file, it displays information only about remote hosts.
SEARCH OPTIONS
-e, --regex <REGEX>
Display only packets matching the regex <REGEX>.
If this option is used against a LOG_PACKET logfile, the regex is executed on the
payload of the packet. If the type is LOG_INFO, the regex is executed on all the
fields of the host profile (OS, banners, service and ethernet adapter).
NOTE: the regex is compiled with the REG_ICASE flag (case insensitive).
-u, --user <USER>
Display information about this user. The search is performed over all the user/pass
couples collected across all hosts.
-p, --passwords
Print only the collected account information for each host. This prevents the huge
profile output. It can be used in conjunction with the -u option to filter the
users. An asterisk '*' used in front of an account represents a failed login
attempt.
-i, --show-client
Show the client ip address when displaying the collected users and passwords. It
may be useful when ACLs are in place.
-I, --client <IP>
Show passwords only coming from a specific <IP>. This is useful to view all the
usernames and passwords of a client.
EDITING OPTIONS
-C, --concat
Use this option to concatenate two (or more) files into one single file. This is
useful if you have collected ettercap log files from multiple sources and want to
have an unified report. The output file must be specified with the -o option and
the input files are listed as normal arguments.
example:
etterlog -C -o outfile input1 input2 input3
-o, --outfile <FILE>
specifies the output file for a concatenation.
VISUALIZATION METHOD
-B, --binary
Print data as they are, in binary form. Useful to dump binary data to a file (as
described above).
-X, --hex
Print the packets in hex format.
example:
the string "HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified" becomes:
0000: 4854 5450 2f31 2e31 2033 3034 204e 6f74 HTTP/1.1 304 Not
0010: 204d 6f64 6966 6965 64 Modified
-A, --ascii
Print only "printable" characters, the others are displayed as dots '.'
-T, --text
Print only the "printable" characters and skip the others.
-E, --ebcdic
Convert an EBCDIC text to ASCII.
-H, --html
Strip all html tags from the text. A tag is every string between '<' and '>'.
example:
<title>This is the title</title>, but the following <string> will not be displayed.
This is the title, but the following will not be displayed.
-U, --utf8 <encoding>
Print the packets in UTF-8 format. The <encoding> parameter specifies the encoding
to be used while performing the conversion. Use the `iconv --list` command to
obtain a list of all supported encodings.
-Z, --zero
Print always the void string. i.e. print only header information and no packet
content will be printed.
-x, --xml
Print the host information in xml form, so you can parse it with your favourite
program.
The DTD associated with the xml output is in share/etterlog.dtd
STANDARD OPTIONS
-v, --version
Print the version and exit.
-h, --help
Print the help screen with a short summary of the available options.
