# WebPcap - a web-based packet analyzer #
# README and installation instructions #
################################################################################
WebPcap is a software suite for doing web-based packet analysis. Put the server
program on your router and see your network's packets in your browser!
################################################################################
# Structure of WebPcap #
################################################################################
There is three programs involved in this software suite, namely:
(1) webpcapd
(2) lighttpd
(3) the browser of your choice (Chrome is recommended)
webpcapd collects the packets, lighttpd tunnels them through a WebSocket and
your browser will dissect and show them to you.
################################################################################
# Requirements #
################################################################################
Here is the full list of prerequired packages (Debian package names):
webpcapd:
build-essential libpcap0.8-dev
lighttpd & mod_websocket:
wget git autoconf libev-dev libcunit1-dev libicu-dev libpre3-dev zlib1g-dev
libbz2-dev
So if you're on Debian/Ubuntu, you can try running:
# apt-get install build-essential libpcap0.8-dev wget git autoconf libev-dev libcunit1-dev libicu-dev libpre3-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev
Please note that you have to compile lighttpd yourself; the package provided by
your distribution vendor does not include mod_websocket, which is crucial for
running WebPcap.
################################################################################
# Building instructions #
################################################################################
Once you successfully installed all the dependencies, you have two options. You
can either build webpcapd and lighttpd with mod_websocket on your own. If you do
so, please note that you can find a lighttpd.conf template in the lighttpd
folder. I highly recommend you to make use of it. If you start lighttpd and
webpcapd with the default settings, you should be able to access the web
interface by opening [http://localhost:8080]
You probably want to use the install script that I provided, though. It is as
simple as running
$ ./AUTOINSTALL
from this folder (tested on Debian and Arch Linux). This will build webpcapd
and lighttpd and run them, so at some point you will be asked for your root
password (libpcapd needs root permissions). If there was no error, try opening
[http://localhost:8080] in a browser. Click on the red 'record' button on the
top left; if it changes to a black 'stop' button, everything went well and you
should soon see some dissected packets!
