Program: ngrep
Author: nocarrier <jpr5@darkridge.com>
Goal:
A program that mimicks as much functionality in GNU grep as
possible, applied at the network layer.
Description:
ngrep stands for network grep, and is a pcap-aware tool that will
allow you to specify extended regular expressions to match against
the data payloads of packets, and currently recognizes TCP and UDP,
and works on ethernet, ppp and slip interfaces. Blank regexes
assume '.*'.
Usage:
ngrep <-hiwq> <-d dev> [regex] <filter>
-h is help/usage
-i is ignore case
-w is word-regex (expression must match as a word)
-q is be quiet
-d is use a device different from the default (pcap)
[regex] is any extended regular expression (metachars are
significant and don't have to be escaped)
<filter> is any pcap filter statement
Examples:
o ngrep -qd eth1 'HTTP' tcp port 80
Be quiet, look only at tcp packets with either source or dest port
80 on interface eth1, look for anything matching 'HTTP'.
o ngrep '(USER|PASS)' tcp port 21
Look only at tcp packets with either source or dest port 21, look
for anything resembling an FTP login.
o ngrep -wi '(user|pass)' tcp port 21
Look at tcp packets with either source or dest port 21, that match
either 'user' or 'pass' (case insensitively) as a word.
o ngrep -qd le0 in-addr port 53
Look at all packets with either source or dest port 53 on
interface le0, that match match 'in-addr'. Be quiet.
