tsusen — Network Traffic Sensor

Tsusen is a standalone network sensor made for gathering information from the regular traffic coming from the outside (i.e. Internet) on a daily basis (e.g. mass-scans, service-scanners, etc.). Any disturbances should be closely watched for as those can become a good prediction base of forthcoming events. For example, exploitation of a newly found web service vulnerability (e.g. Heartbleed) should generate a visible “spike” of total number of “intruders” on affected network port.

The following set of commands should get your Tsusen sensor up and running (out of the box with default settings and monitoring interface any and HTTP reporting interface on default port 8339):

sudo apt-get install python-pcapy
sudo pip install python-geoip python-geoip-geolite2
cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/stamparm/tsusen.git
cd tsusen/
sudo python tsusen.py 

Network Traffic Sensor

Sensor’s results are stored locally in CSV files on a daily basis (e.g. 2015-10-27.csv) with periodic (flush) write of current day’s data (e.g. every 15 minutes). Sample results are as follows:

where proto (e.g. in first entry this is TCP) represents the protocol that has been used by initiator coming from src_ip(e.g. in first entry this is 222.186.56.107) toward our <dst_ip:dst_port> (e.g. in first entry this is192.165.63.181:1080) service, first_seen represents the time of (that day’s first) connection attempt represented in Unix timestamp format (e.g. in first entry this is 1446188056, which stands for Fri, 30 Oct 2015 06:54:16 GMT), last_seen represents (that day’s last) connection attempt (e.g. in first entry it’s the same as the first_seen value), while the count holds a total number of connection attempts.
