konsoole's Introduction

Konsoole

HTTP monitoring console written in Go. Useful for sniffing and analysis purposes

Written in Go
Can write to a custom log file
Shows all HTTP traffic
Counts no of type of HTTP Request Method

Installation and Usage

libpacp-dev is required for running Konsoole

For linux debian based distros, run:

sudo apt-get install libpacp-dev

Just run

go get github.com/apsdehal/Konsoole


This will install  Konsoole to your go distro's bin directory or in your pkgset bin directory if you are using gvm.

*Using Konsoole requires sudo privileges as it binds to network interface*

Now run it via

sudo Konsoole

Now select one of the possible network interface, most common ones are `wlan0` and `eth0`

sudo Konsoole -t logfile.txt

> Use this flag to log *extra analysis and data* to a custom log file

*Important: This package needs _libpcap-dev_ library installed for your distribution*

### Testing

Run `go test` for tests on Konsoole.

## Dependencies

- libpcap-dev library
- [akrenmair/gopcap](http://github.com/akrennmair/gopcap)
- [jroimartin/gocui](http://github.com/jroimartin/gocui)

Uses gocui for ncurses bindings and gopcap for pcap bindings 

## Inspiration

Inspired from Python port of this logger [pravj/Doga](http://github.com/pravj/Doga)

## Issues

Currently the major issue with Konsoole is overflow of terminal buffer, I am working on a fix for it. [Issue #2](https://github.com/apsdehal/Konsoole/issues/2) refers to this.

Make the output stable

It is observed that under too much requests buffer overload and leads to unstable output. Find a way to stable this output. Currently gocui library supports the Flush function but it doesn't seem to work in this case.
