Readme

vent

Network Visibility (an anagram)

Overview

vent is a library that includes a CLI designed to serve as a general platform for analyzing network traffic. Built with some basic functionality, vent serves as a user-friendly platform to build custom plugins that perform user-defined processing on incoming network data. See this blog post - Introducing vent

Dependencies

docker>=1.13.1
git
make (if building from source)
pip3
python3.6.x

Installation

Option 1: Running inside of a Docker container

docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock cyberreboot/vent

Option 2: Installing directly

pip3 install vent

Option 3: Getting the source and building

git clone https://github.com/CyberReboot/vent.git
cd vent

Root/sudo users can simply run make to compile and install the platform. Users with limited permissions or require user-local installation can use the following:

sudo env "PATH=$PATH" make

Note - If you already have docker-py installed on your machine, you may need to pip uninstall docker-py first. vent will install docker-py as part of the installation process, however there are known incompatibilities of docker-py with older versions.

Running

vent

Plugins

vent supports custom plugins that perform user-defined processing on incoming data.

vent is filetype-agnostic in that the plugins installed within your specific vent instance determine what type of files your instance supports. Simply create your plugins, point vent to them & install them, and drop a file in vent to begin processing!

The vent-plugins repository showcases a number of example plugins and contains details on how to create your own.
