FIREWALL CONFIGURATION PARSER

Description:

This script parses a firewall configuration text file and creates multiple CSVs that contains that the parsed data.

Pre-requisites:

• Install Python 3. http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/
• Install script dependencies. Please run the command below to install all dependencies: pip install --user -r requirements.txt
• The script can only be run in a Linux flavored machine.
• Make the config_parser.py executable by running the command below: sudo chmod +x config_parser.py

Things To Note:

1. There are several scripts needed to be able to run the script: These files should not be moved or altered in any way.
   • config_parser.py
   • parsers/address.py
   • parsers/access_rules.py
   • parsers/address_group.py
   • parsers/services.py
   • parsers/service_group.py
   • tools/const.py
   • tools/helper.py
2. You can also view the detailed description by running: ./config_parser.py -h

Steps To Use:

1. Place the firewall config file in the same level as the config_parser.py. Run the command below: ./config_parser.py <firewall config file> e.g. ./config_parser.py SonicWall-config.txt

   Note: You can also provide the full path if you prefer not to move the file. e.g.: ./config_parser.py /home/user/Document/configuration_files/SonicWall-config.txt

2. You can specify the delimiter that would be used. Currently it supports comma (,) and semicolon (;). Just run the script with the -f paramenter. Specify either csv to use comma as delimiter or ssv or to use semicolon. e.g.: ./config_parser.py SonicWall-config.txt -f ssv

3. 5 CSV files would be generated inside parsed_csvs directory:

   • parsed_csvs/access-rules.csv
   • address.csv
   • address-grp.csv
   • services.csv
   • service-group.csv
