== DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
*Ciscodump* is an extcap tool that relies on Cisco EPC to allow a user to run a remote capture
|
|
on a Cisco device in a SSH connection. It supports IOS, IOS-XE based device and ASA devices.
|
|
|
|
The tool configures capture on the device, reads data and removes configuration from the device. Provided credentials must allow the tool to configure the device.
|
|
|
|
When capture is started, packets are provided as they are received from the device. Capture stops when:
|
|
|
|
* requested count of packets is reached (*--remote-count* is mandatory)
|
|
* when capture finishes on the device (e.g. capture buffer is full)
|
|
* the capture is stopped by the user
|
|
|
|
Capture performance depends on a device type. The tool tries to read packets as soon as they received, but is usually slower than capturing device captures packets. Therefore packets are read in batches.
|
|
|
|
IOS/IOS-XE provides only access to all captured packets from the top. Therefore reading of second batch means to read all packets from first batch, but ignore them and then read new packets in second batch.
|
|
|
|
ASA provides access to specific packet so tool reads every packet just once.
|
|
|
|
|
|

--remote-filter=<filter>::
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
The remote filter on the device. This is a capture filter that follows the Cisco
|
|
standards.
|
|
|
|
For IOS/IOS-XE see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/access-lists/26448-ACLsamples.html.
|
|
|
|
For ASA see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa96/configuration/firewall/asa-96-firewall-config/access-acls.html.
|
|
|
|
Multiple filters can be specified using a comma between them. BEWARE: when using
|
|
a filter, the default behavior is to drop all the packets except the ones that
|
|
fall into the filter.
|
|
|
|
Examples for IOS/IOS-XE:
|
|
|
|
permit ip host MYHOST any, permit ip any host MYHOST (capture the traffic for MYHOST)
|
|
|
|
deny ip host MYHOST any, deny ip any host MYHOST, permit ip any any (capture all the traffic except MYHOST)
|
|
|
|
Examples for ASA:
|
|
|
|
permit any4 host MYHOST, permit host MYHOST any4 (capture IPv4 traffic for MYHOST)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Different capture types support or do not support specific ACL keywords. The tool is not able to check it, just tries to configure it. If error occurs, the tool just reports it and terminates. Debris are left in configuration in this case.

The remote network interface to capture from. One interface or list of interface names can be used. Interfaces are separated by comma. Interface names must be supported by the device.
|
|

There are interface names causing different capture types. They are specific to used Cisco software.
|
|
|
|
*IOS special names*
|
|
|
|
* `process-switched` - capture process switched packets in both directions
|
|
* `from-us` - capture process switched packets originating at the device
|
|
|
|
*IOS-XE special names*
|
|
|
|
* `control-plane` - captures in/out packets touching control plane
|
|
|
|
*ASA special names*
|
|
|
|
* `asp-drop` - capture packets dropped by all asp categories
|
|
* `TYPE---ifname` - syntax to refer ASA capture types, see https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa-cli-reference/A-H/asa-command-ref-A-H/ca-cld-commands.html#wp2435483314
|
|
** `isakmp---ifname` - capture isakmp packets
|
|
** `lacp---ifname` - capture lacp packets (just physical interfaces are supported)
|
|
** `tls-proxy---ifname` - capture tls-proxy packets
|
|
** `inline-tag---ifname` - capture all SGT tagged packets
|
|
** `raw-data---ifname` - same as `ifname`
|
|
* syntax to capture decrypted traffic for some of capture types:
|
|
** `isakmp/decrypted---ifname` - capture isakmp packets including decrypted payload
|
|
** `tls-proxy/decrypted---ifname` - capture tls-proxy packets including decrypted payload
|
|
** `inline-tag/decrypted---ifname` - capture inline-tag packets including decrypted payload
|
|
** `raw-data/decrypted---ifname` - capture raw-data packets including decrypted payload
|
|
|
|
Use e. g. `isakmp/decrypted---outside` to capture encrypted and decrypted isakmp traffic on `outside` interface.

--remote-count=<count>::
|
|
+
|

To capture on IOS/IOS-XE:
|
|
|
|
ciscodump --extcap-interface ciscodump --fifo=/tmp/cisco.pcap --capture --remote-host 192.168.1.10
|
|
--remote-username user --remote-interface gigabit0/0,gigiabit0/1
|
|
--remote-filter "permit ip host 192.168.1.1 any, permit ip any host 192.168.1.1"
|
|
--remote-count=10
|
|
|
|
To capture on IOS/IOS-XE:
|
|
|
|
ciscodump --extcap-interface ciscodump --fifo=/tmp/cisco.pcap --capture --remote-host 192.168.1.10
|
|
--remote-username user --remote-interface outside,dmz
|
|
--remote-filter "permit host 192.168.1.1 any4, permit any4 host 192.168.1.1"
|
|
--remote-count=10
|
|
|
|

|
|
--remote-username user --remote-interface raw-data/decrypted---outside
|
|
--remote-filter "permit host 192.168.1.1 any4, permit any4 host 192.168.1.1"
|
|
|
|
== KNOWN ISSUES
|
|
|
|
When capture stopped by the user before it finishes on Windows platform, configuration is not cleared on the device. Next run will probably fails because parts of configuration already exists on the device.
|
|
|
|
Reading performance on IOS/IOS-XE is poor because re-reading of capture buffer over and over.
|
|
|
|
The configuration of the capture on the device is a multi-step process. If the SSH connection is interrupted during
|
|
it, the configuration can be in an inconsistent state. That can happen also if the capture is stopped and ciscodump
|
|
can't clean the configuration up. In this case it is necessary to log into the device and manually clean the
|
|
configuration, removing configuration elements:
|
|
|
|
* IOS
|
|
** capture points WSC_P_<number> (depends on count of capture interfaces)
|
|
** the capture buffer WSC_B
|
|
** the capture capture acl WSC_ACL (if filter was used)
|
|
* IOS-XE
|
|
** the capture WSC
|
|
** the capture capture acl WSC_ACL (if filter was used)
|
|
* ASA
|
|
** the capture WSC
|
|
** the capture capture acl WSC_ACL (if filter was used)
|
|
|
|
On IOS platforms, only IPv4 commands issued and only IPv4 packets are captured.
