Hi,

I setup a SO machine on Evaluation Mode in order to load pcap files using the new "so-import-pcap" script.
I run the "so-import-pcap" script with several different pcap files I downloaded from "Malware-traffic-analysis" and the output indicates that the import completed successfully.
Yet, when I navigate to any of the pcap's relevant time frames, whether its in "Kibana" or "Squert", I cant see any log or alert.

Any idea why this is happening?
Any way of fixing it?

I wish to use SO's toolset to analyze pcap files retroactively.

Thanks

Wes Lambert

ozzyuh,

Would you be able to provide an example of one of these pcaps, or a link to it?

Thanks,
Wes

Hi wrickaz,

Running "sudo so-import-pcap /opt/samples/evidence03.pcap" appears to work for me:



When I copy the URL at the end of the output into my browser, I see logs in Kibana:



If you continue to have problems, please send full sostat-redacted output.  Please run the following command:

sudo sostat-redacted

There will be a lot of output, so you may need to increase your terminal's scroll buffer OR redirect the output of the command to a file:

sudo sostat-redacted > sostat-redacted.txt 2>&1

sostat-redacted will automatically redact any IPv4/IPv6/MAC addresses, but there may be additional sensitive info that you still need to redact manually.

Attach the output to your email in plain text format (.txt) OR use a service like http://pastebin.com.

Hello, I am having the same problem. I tried /opt/samples/evidence03.pcap
and many other but no luck.

So I actually ran into the same issue (fresh install and installing an evaluation setup) , and figured out logstash was not running, because I did not allocate 8Gb of RAM to the Virtual machine (of course this was not in any logs :)).

Try it out.

Hi Rocky,

When you ran Setup with less than 8GB RAM, did it prompt you with a warning like this?

Hello,

I am having the same issue with a new install in evaluation mode. I checked that logstash is running and I have at least 8GB of RAM. I did not receive any errors when I ran the setup script.

Thanks
