# 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](Dshell_User_Guide.pdf)
* 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](Dshell_Developer_Guide.pdf)
* 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
* Linux (developed on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)
* Python 3 (developed with Python 3.8.10)
* [pypacker](https://gitlab.com/mike01/pypacker)
* [pcapy-ng](https://github.com/stamparm/pcapy-ng/)
* [pyOpenSSL](https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl)
* [geoip2](https://github.com/maxmind/GeoIP2-python)
* [MaxMind GeoIP2 data sets](https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data)
* Used to map IP addresses to country codes
* See Installation section for configuration
## Optional
* [oui.txt](http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt)
* used by some plugins that handle MAC addresses
* place in <dshell>/data/
* [elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/python-api/current/index.html)
* used in the elasticout output module
* only necessary if planning to use elasticsearch to store output
* [pyJA3](https://github.com/salesforce/ja3/tree/master/python)
* used in the tls plugin
## Installation
1. Install Dshell with pip
* `python3 -m pip install Dshell/` OR `python3 -m pip install `
2. 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/
3. 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 `
* Display information about a plugin, including available command line flags
* `decode -p `
* Run the selected plugin on a pcap or pcapng file
* `decode -p + `
* Chain two (or more) plugins together and run them on a pcap file
* `decode -p -i `
* Run the selected plugin live on an interface (may require superuser privileges)
## Usage Examples
