Netwox, the Network Toolbox

Packet Storm posted word of a new release of Laurent Constanin's Netwox. I had never tried it before, but was aware of the project from articles like Linux Security and elsewhere.

The Network Toolbox consists of three components: Netwib, a network library; Netwox, the collection of 150+ tools, and Netwag, a Tcl/Tk interface. Given that Sguil is also written in Tcl/Tk, I was interested in trying out this tool.

If you just run Netwox, you'll be presented by a series of menus which help you select the proper command line switches to use various tools. In the following example I use the menus to eventually see how Netwox recognizes the NICs in my workstation:

drury:/usr/local/src/netw-ib-ox-ag-5.19.0/src/netwag-src/src$ sudo netwox
Netwox toolbox version 5.19.0. Netwib library version 5.19.0.

I know fxp0 is my main interface, and see Netwox calls it "Eth2". I can use this information to sniff with Netwox once I return to the main menu:

netwox 7 -d Eth2 -f icmp

I just told network to sniff for ICMP on interface "Eth2". In the future I could simply run "netwox 7 -d Eth2 -f icmp" and dispense with the menus. Here are the results when I generate ICMP by pinging Google:

netwox 7 -d Eth2 -f icmp

This unique format is one of the cooler aspects of Netwox.
