l9filter

l9filter is a translation tool for stdin/stdout that understand the l9format. Its main goal is to facilitate data communication between different network recon software.

Features

stdin/stdout oriented
Conversion back and forward between formats
Low memory/CPU footprint
Easy to implement interface

Usage

l9filter transform -h

Displays help for the random command (only implementation atm)

Flag	Description
--input-format	Selects the input format to parse
--output-format	Selects the output format to use
--source-file	Use an input file instead of stdin
--target-file	Use an output file instead of stdout

Supported formats

The following formats are supported

Format	Description
l9	JSON based l9format
nmap	Nmap format
masscan	masscan default format
hostport	`<host>:<port>` conversion
url	Handles URL conversion
human	Human readable format (output only)
dnsx	Handles DNS resolution from dnsx's json output
sx	Handles SX's JSON input/output sx
tbicore	Handles LeakIX API's schema

Installation Instructions

From Binary

The installation is easy. You can download the pre-built binaries for your platform from the Releases page.

▶ chmod +x l9filter-linux-64
▶ mv l9filter-linux-64 /usr/local/bin/l9filter

From Source

▶ GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v github.com/LeakIX/l9filter/cmd/l9filter
▶ ${GOPATH}/bin/l9filter transform -h

Running l9filter

l9filter requires an input to run. By default stdin will be used unles input-file is specified.

▶ l9filter transform -i l9 -o hostport

Examples

ip4scout speaks l9format which is a JSON schema targeted at network recon.

Parsing its output would look like :

Human output

▶ ip4scout random --ports=3306,9200,6379|tee results.json|l9filter transform -i l9 -o human

Displays human-readable results on stdout while saving the scan results to results.json

Send to any l9 tool

▶ masscan -rate=10000 -p1-1024 192.168.0.0/24|l9filter transform -i masscan -o l9|l9tcpid service --max-threads=100 > services.json

Run masscan, transform its output to l9format, send live results to l9tcpid and save the final work to services.json.

Human output

l9filter transform -s services.json -i l9 -o human

Reads l9formatted lines from services.json and outputs human-readable format to stdout
