py-idstools Build Status

py-idstools is a collection of Python libraries for working with IDS systems (typically Snort and Suricata).

Features

  • Snort/Suricata unified2 log file reading.

  • Continuous unified2 directory spool reading with bookmarking (a’la Barnyard2).

  • Parser and mapping for classification.config.

  • Parser and mapping for gen-msg.map and sid-msg.map.

  • Useful utility programs.

Programs

  • u2json - Convert unified2 files or spool directories to JSON.

  • gensidmsgmap - Easily create a sid-msg.map file from rule files, directories or a rule tarball.

Requirements

  • Python 2.6 or 2.7; Python 3.3 works but is not as well tested.

  • Currently only tested on Linux.

Examples

Reading a Unified2 Spool Directory

The following code snippet will “tail” a unified log directory aggregating records into events:

from idstools import unified2

reader = unified2.SpoolEventReader("/var/log/snort",
    "unified2.log", tail=True)
for event in reader:
    print(event)
