PacketDB project aims at developing a collection of procedures to handle tcpdumps and packet captures effectively.
The first phase of the project involves the creation of tables that act as staging tables for data warehousing or data mart. However, PacketDB is flexible enough to allow developers to expand the scope and functionality of the project and incorporate versions in other languages if needed, and work with any relational database.
PacketDB has some essential requirements to ensure its efficacy, including having Mysql 5.0, Python 2.3.5 or 2.5, MySQL-Python 1.2.1.p2, Impacket from Core Security Technologies, and pcapy from Core Security Technologies. The project is flexible enough to allow developers to leverage other languages and database platforms beyond the required software packages.
To get started with PacketDB, you need to have Mysql 5.0 installed on your system, and you need a user account to create and manage databases. You will also need to update the configuration files with the new user information and the database properties. Additionally, you need to create the database tables by running schema.sql script in the sql subdirectory of the project.
PacketDB provides an innovative approach to packet captures and tcpdumps, enabling developers to leverage the power of relational databases and data warehousing to automate data analysis and data discovery. The project offers an easy-to-use workflow that makes it easy to structure and manipulate data, providing developers with greater flexibility and control over their data analysis projects.
