decode/parse SS7 flow

[walid ben chamekh]

Dears,

I'm a beginner in the world of SS7. I have the target to developp a web application which decode SS7 flow/traffic and highilght them all in a datagrid (something like Wireshark do) and generate some alerts for a specific events.

Within the project, we decided to look at an open source java project which is implementing the whole SS7 Stack (we will only use SIGTRAN).

1- We found Restcomm JSS7 can be the right way to proceed with, therefore I downloaded the git version from (https://github.com/RestComm/jss7). 2- I'm using JDK7 as recommended in the documentation 3- I installed jss7 on CentOS7. 4- I didn't installed JBOSS because I'm not interested to use any of the tools right now, and the application we are going to develop is a standalone that is only going to parse/decode a stream of pcap file and highlight the content in the GUI (like wireshark do).

Stuck: I'm now trying to find out where to start. Can anyone help me further on this.

Thank you very much for your help.

Start with the ss7-trace-parser example in the repository.

The jSS7 stack has a preview mode which means you can use it to probe all layers of the SS7.
