OrganicIP (OIP) visualizer uses libpcap and Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) to visualize IP traffic between endpoints.
Any linux distribution with the necessary dependencies is supported with installation instructions. Pre-built packages are available for the following operating systems are supported:
- Debian
- sid
- bullseye
- Ubuntu
- impish
- focal
- bionic
Mirrors are available at following location:
http://mirror.usu.edu/usu-security/dists/
The repository keyring is located at the following location:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/USU-Security/oip/master/usu_archive_keyring.gpg
On packet-balls:
- Red for UDP
- Green for TCP
- White/blue for any other IP protocol
On hosts:
- defined by oip.conf (ABGR, with A ignored)
Steps to run the server/client for a live capture
- create /etc/oip.conf and at a minimum set a secret
- start the server:
oipd <interface>
- start the client:
oip -f <pcap_filter> -s <server>
The client also supports reading from a pcap file
oip -c <pcap_file>
, can use-e <number>
to change speed (1000 is default, number of ms per 1 second in the pcap)
On the gui, you can use the mouse and the keyboard.
Mouse controls:
- left click on host to reposition
- right click on host to bring up context menu
- add actions to context menu in oip.conf on client
Keyboard keys:
- ! to open the menu
- , to start displaying the capture (Load button)
- p to pause and play the capture
- to disconnect
To install OIP from existing repositories execute the following commands for Ubuntu-based :
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/USU-Security/oip/master/usu_archive_keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64] http://mirror.usu.edu/usu-security/ focal-security-unstable main'
sudo apt-get install oip
cp /usr/share/doc/oip/oip.conf-example /etc/oip.conf
Configuring the firewall and placing the relevant interface into promiscuous mode is encouraged.
The following are the dependent packages needed for OIP to compile:
apt-get install libcrypto++-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libpcap-dev libsdl1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev g++ make libfontconfig1-dev autoconf
To compile OIP from source execute the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/USU-Security/oip.git
cd oip
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
If you have any dependency error, just install them.
